The answer

Undoubtedly, sending blessings upon the Prophet—peace be upon him—contains much good and great reward, for he—peace be upon him—said: "Whoever sends blessings upon me once, Allah will send blessings upon him tenfold." However, one should not contrive a formula not mentioned in the texts. Furthermore, the attainment of reward merely by sending such messages depends on a legal proof that has not been received. Therefore, it is better not to send such messages, and instead, to focus on sending hadiths about the virtue of sending blessings upon the Prophet—peace be upon him—to remind people and encourage them to do so.
