sims.net InTouch sending to mobile numbers in bulk without selecting students

[abc32]

hi, i want to send a message to parents but without selecting individuals on sims: i run a report for 1500 kids in another program and then vlookup phone number: then i filter the report and have lets say 400 to send the message to. i can concatenate the numbers and want to copy these numbers and paste to InTouch but then intouch doesn't recognize the number : it wants the little icon next to each mobile number and to do it i would need to copy and paste each number separate. may as well select 400 names in a first place. but to do something like this daily is a highway to madness. any ideas?

I can't work out where you are 'pasting' your numbers. But anyway I don't believe it is possible. I think it operates in this way: that you have to select all the people you want to send a message to from within the Intouch programme (eg Focus>Intouch>Send Message), by clicking on the magnifying glass etc
