Sending Bulk SMS with Zendesk: Overcoming Limits
Can I send 20,000 SMS messages at once using Zendesk?
Sending 20,000 SMS messages at once using Zendesk can be challenging due to API rate limits. If you're on the Professional plan, you might experience throttling. To manage this, consider breaking down your messages into smaller batches, such as sending 4 messages of 5000 each.
Alternatively, upgrading your plan or purchasing the High Volume API add-on could help increase your rate limit, allowing you to send more messages simultaneously. For personalized assistance, it's best to contact Zendesk support.
