I actually just figured this out! You need to create a joined list column with the phone numbers you want for a given text, with the numbers separated simply by a comma (no spaces). Then create a template column where you add in the following url to the start: `sms://open?addresses=`. I noticed that the number needs to be formatted XXX-XXX-XXXX; without the dashes it doesn’t work. (not sure if it handles parentheses or country codes). So the data in your column would look like `sms://open?addresses=555-555-1234,555-555-5678,555-555-9012`. Then in your button, create an Open Link action on the button, and the link should be that sms://open?addresses=etc column. This works in iOS. I wound up creating a second button for Android that uses the Compose SMS action pulling just from the joined list (without the sms::// url). Not sure how (or if it’s possible) to combine the buttons and make them conditional on the user’s device; I’m assuming not possible. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.glideapps.com/t/composing-a-group-sms/59987)._
