I do this a lot and...it aint pretty.  First, you need a placeholder column in the table where you are selecting records for action.  Your first action will populate that field.  Then an automation will detect that this field has been populated and an email or text can then be sent to the email/phone in that record.  Then the automation can also empty the placeholder field.  

The body of your message will need to stored somewhere.  This might be within the automation, or it can be a table that will be referenced in the automation.  In my case, my Member table has a related Contact_Log table where any communications are stored, so my automations then go on to add a new entry there to store the info about what was sent and when.
