Is there a way to send a mass text message to all past customers?

If you have IO Phone you can send texts but it's not for mass texting because there are limits:

You can take advantage of IO Phone programmatically through our API version 6 and above. While texting plans are unlimited, we do throttle and have limits in place on an account level (regardless of location or phone number) for billable outbound messages to prevent abuse whether intentional or accidental. Additionally our API has rate limiting of 300 requests every 300 seconds. Texting limits are 200/hour, 300/day, 1500/week. If the limit is hit, you may still send manual text messages, including through the API but not via an automation, at the rate of 1 message every 5 minutes. Certain system text messages sent on your behalf such as wind alerts are unbillable and are not counted in these limits.

The only permission required is that you either do not set restrictions by worker on the number you want to use or if you are setting these restrictions, you also enable the API worker profile you are using to have access.
