Create an account and sign in

Why this matters

Messages are sent and charged through your ExcelSend account, and your account’s country decides which sending options you get. The add-in stays signed in for each workbook, so you usually only do this once per file.

Before you start

Install ExcelSend and open it from Home → Send SMS.

Create an account

  1. In the ExcelSend pane, under “Don’t have an account?”, click Register here.
  2. Complete the registration form in the ExcelSend portal that opens.

You can also register directly at portal.excelsend.com/Account/registerex.

Sign in

  1. In the ExcelSend pane, click Sign In.
  2. Either enter your Email Address: and Password:, or, under “Alternatively, provide your Access Key”, enter your Key:.
  3. Click Sign In.

Once signed in, the top of the pane shows your account name and code, and the sheet and range ExcelSend is reading.

Sign out

Click sign out at the top of the pane. This removes the saved sign-in from the current workbook.

Common problems

“Please enter a valid user id” or “Please enter a valid password” The email address or password is too short to be valid (under 5 characters). Check what you typed.

“Authentication failed” The email address and password don’t match an account. Check them by signing in to the ExcelSend portal, or contact us.

“Invalid Key” The access key wasn’t recognised. Copy it again, making sure there are no spaces at either end.

I’m asked to sign in again in a different workbook The sign-in is saved per workbook. Sign in once in each workbook you send from.
