Send Massive Message

Helloo! How are you doing?

I wanted to ask if there is a way to quickly send mass messages by slack or any tool without having to go to a split in batches, for example, I have to send a message to 200 people and it takes me a long time, is there a more agile way with some node that maybe I don’t know? This is my workflow: I take from a spreadsheet the emails, I look for the slack user ID and I send one by one and at the end I put in the spreadsheet if the message was sent or not to the person in case it crashes, so I don’t start again from 0.

Thank you very much as always, have a great weekend!

It looks like your topic is missing some important information. Could you provide the following if applicable.

  • n8n version:
  • Database (default: SQLite):
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):
  • Operating system:

Hi @Internalit_Automatio, good to see you again, hope all is well?

This is my workflow: I take from a spreadsheet the emails, I look for the slack user ID and I send one by one and at the end I put in the spreadsheet if the message was sent or not to the person in case it crashes, so I don’t start again from 0.

This sounds like a sensible approach, and unless you need to get our your message urgently I wouldn’t change it (mostly because I believe in a working workflow being a good workflow).

In general, Slack does not allow sending a individual direct messages to multiple different recipients in one request. They expect one request per recipient. This is not an n8n limitation, but a Slack one. So I think to speed things up here you would have to use a channel with all recipients instead and then send an @here message. Not sure if that works for your specific use case though.

Hi @MutedJam

Perfect! I understand that the issue comes from the request slack!

Thanks as always for the help, have a great week!
