Emails or phone numbers in Batches

[Jaden_Marquez]

Hello. I have a question about setting up an automation. I have a Google Sheet with names and emails, and I want to send two emails simultaneously every minute. For example, if I have 100 recipients, is it possible to configure Make to send two emails at the same time? How should I set up this workflow?

The same applies to sending text messages. I want to take phone numbers and names from Google Sheets and send 1 or 2 messages at the same time, within a 60-second window, to maybe 60 or 70 contacts.

I’m looking forward to discussing this further and understanding the best way to set it up.

Thanks!

Here is what I have right now but it is not making sense to me how I can send an email to 2 reciepients at once in 2 separate emails if that makes sense. The sleep has a timer of 63 seconds before it goes to the email. Just an FYI

Welcome to the Make community!

Looks like you are looking to send individual emails in batches of two, before pausing. Is that correct?

Then all you probably need to do is something like this:

This is just an example. Your final solution may or may not look like this depending on your requirements.

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.

Hi Sam thank you so much. I will try that today. Will the process repeat if I have let’s say 50 rows of names and emails in a google sheet… It woul do 2, then do the next 2 so on and so forth. Just want to make (No Pun Intended) sure that I am understanding this process correctly

Thank you for your help

Yes, the filter will only allow every second item to proceed to the sleep module, if you set it up exactly like I have shown.

Hi @Jaden_Marquez ,

Another solution is to give feedback to your Google sheet every time you send the email (for example, mark the row as processed in a dedicated column). Then you can configure your Google Sheet trigger to only pick up 2 new rows at a time (unprocessed), scheduled at a properly timed interval.

This way you avoid processing everything in one go, and you’ll maintain a controlled flow of items while also keeping track of what’s already been processed.
