Send SMS
Send one text now or later to numbers or to a list, as Quick SMS does.
MCP tool clicksend_write → send_sms
write Confirm
Sends like Quick SMS: to up to 1,000 numbers or contacts at once, now or at send_at. Give to or list_id. It spends account credit, and the confirmation shows the cost as Preview and Confirm does. Quick SMS has no Reply STOP and no unsubscribe link, so for a marketing text use create_sms_campaign. A text scheduled this way cannot be edited, only cancelled with cancel_scheduled_sms. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
Parameters

| message string required | string | Text of the message. Placeholders such as [First Name] work with a list. |
