Frequently Asked Questions

You don’t need complicated text messaging services to run large-scale events. TextMagic provides all the tools you need to stay on top of things. If you’re having trouble getting started with event SMS, please check out our FAQ section.

How can I automate event reminders, cancelations, or changes?

Use our Zapier integrations to configure and manage schedule changes, reminders, or cancellations automatically. TextMagic integrates with many booking/calendar apps. To better exemplify the implementation of Zapier integrations, we will demonstrate with Calendly:

Step #1: While already logged in to your TextMagic account, navigate to the Calendly Zapier Integration page.

Step #2: Create one of the following rules:

  • “Invitee created” > “Set custom field value” then “Invitee created” > “Send message” to automatically send a text to your participant.

  • “Invitee canceled” > “Send message” to manage the cancellation.

Step #3: Click “Continue.”

Step #4: Sign up for a Zapier account or log in to your existing account. Complete the rule and define your automated message for event reminders.

Optional: You can also organize contacts into specific lists whenever an invitee schedules an event. Follow-up with targeted SMS event updates directly from the TextMagic dashboard.

How can I send venue directions via SMS?

Step #1: Log in to your TextMagic account or sign up for a free 30-day trial.

Step #2: Navigate to “Compose.” Insert your contact list into the recipient field. We advise you to create separate contact lists for every event. Set your SMS sender ID in the “From” field and write your message. You can also insert SMS templates and adjust them.

Step #3: Share venue directions as a text, an image file (with SMS attachments), or a short link to live Google Maps coordinates. To shorten your URL simply paste your Google Maps URL on https://bitly.com/.

Can I calculate the cost of my SMS event management campaign?

Of course! TextMagic offers transparent pricing plans. Furthermore, from the “Compose” tab you can view the exact cost of every text message you sent. The total price is calculated according to the length of your SMS and the number of recipients.

From the “Reporting” tab you can view all your payments as a summary (Reporting -> Overview) or as a detailed report (Reporting -> Statements). If you are an account manager, you can also see SMS spend for every sub-account.
