Contact attendees via text message

You need to communicate last minute updates or other important information about your event? No worries. You can send messages to attendees before, under and after your event using EasySignup.

Messages are sent via the event report page.

• Click on event title or the status icon.
  
• Click on "Contact attendees".
  
• Choose SMS Message.
  

Note: Text messaging involves a fee for the organizer depending on amount of messages, numbers of characters and which country the attendee is located in. You can buy SMS credits under Account->SMS Status. 

Furthermore, you need to collect the attendee information "Cellphone number" from people registering your event in order to send text messages to the attendees. "Cellphone number" is already available in the list of attendee information fields - so you don't need to create it yourself.

• Now you can create and send the text message.
  
  

1. Choose whether to contact all attendees, attendees based on a set of criteria or individual attendees.
   • "All attendees" means that all attendees registered for the event will receive the message
   • "Select Attendees by Criteria" allows you to select a group of attendees based on their registration, e.g. ticket type, attendee information or time of registration.
     
   • "Select Individual Attendees" allows you to select exactly the attendee(s) who should receive the message.
     
2. Choose whether to send the message right away or schedule it for later.
3. Name the message for internal use. This makes it easier for you to distinguish between different messages for the same event. It could be "Message about parking and agenda" or "Reminder 2 days before".
   
   Write the message and click "Send message" when you are done.
   
   Please note that you can save the message as a template, if you wish to use it for other events.

Note: You can see a overview over your text messages under Account->SMS Status in the top of the dashboard.

You can see a list of all event messages via the event report page. Once you've sent or scheduled messages the button is named "View and Send Messages".

You can also edit and delete scheduled messages. Click on the "pencil" to edit a scheduled message and the "x" to delete it.
