You need two things before TextPilot works: the Chrome extension, and a license key from Gumroad. Free plan gets 10 texts/day. Pro unlocks everything.
🧩
Step 1 — Install the Chrome Extension
Download TextPilot Pro from the Chrome Web Store. Works on Chrome, Edge, and any Chromium browser. Free to start — 10 texts per day, no credit card needed.
Purchase on Gumroad and you'll receive a license key by email instantly. Paste it into the extension to unlock unlimited texts + iPhone mode. Monthly ($9/mo) or Lifetime ($99 one-time).
Want to send from your real iPhone number via native iMessage & SMS? Add the TextPilot Apple Shortcut. Open this link on your iPhone, tap "Add Shortcut," and you're set. iOS 16+ required.
Open on iPhone · Tap "Add Shortcut" · Scan QR from extension to launch
💡
Already installed and licensed? Jump to Step 1 → to activate your key and build your first campaign.
Step 01 / 05
Activate Your License Key
After purchasing on Gumroad, you'll get a license key by email. Open the TextPilot extension, paste your key, and hit Activate.
📧
Your key looks like: XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX. Check your Gumroad receipt email — or log in at gumroad.com/library to find it.

Step 02 / 05
Upload Your Contact CSV
Any CSV with a phone number column works. TextPilot auto-detects name, address, city, and lets you map any custom columns from your spreadsheet.
📋
Minimum requirement: a phone column. Headers like "Phone", "Mobile", or "Cell" are auto-detected. Export straight from any CRM, Google Sheets, or data tool.

Phone formats: 8135550194, (813) 555-0194, and +18135550194 all work — TextPilot normalizes them automatically.
Step 03 / 05
Write Your Message Template
Use {curly braces} around any column header from your CSV. Every message gets personalized automatically before it sends.
