Text blasts let you send a message directly to guests about your event. This is a fast and effective way to promote your event, share updates, and remind attendees about important details like start times or last-minute changes.
This article explains how to send a text blast from your event dashboard and what you can include in your message.
What Is a Text Blast?
A text blast is a message sent to guests associated with your event via text message (SMS). It can be used to:
Promote your event
Remind guests about the event date and time
Share important updates
Encourage last-minute ticket purchases
Communicate changes or announcements
Text blasts are especially useful because guests are more likely to see a text message quickly.

This will open the New Post view
Create your message by adding:
A message body (the text you want to send)

Text blasts work well for:
