Event SMS Playbook for Ghana: RSVPs, Reminders & Day-Of Alerts
Run conferences, concerts, church conventions, and campus events with SMS for registrations, reminders, gate codes, and last-minute venue updates.
Events fail in the details: wrong date in email, silent WhatsApp groups, lost tickets. SMS keeps attendees informed even when data is off. SplitSMS helps organizers collect RSVPs and blast schedule changes without building a custom ticketing SMS stack.
Whether you use Google Forms, Smart Forms, or a spreadsheet from sponsors, you can text confirmations and day-of logistics from one wallet.
Before the event
Capture phone numbers on registration forms and send an instant confirmation with date, venue, and any dress code. Schedule a T-minus-24h reminder and a morning-of “doors open” text.
Import sponsor guest lists from Google Sheets or Contacts—select one VIP row or select all—then tag groups for speakers versus general admission.
During the event
Room changes, delayed keynotes, and security notices should go out in minutes. Keep a saved Sender ID and template drafts so ops can send without rewriting every alert.
Use short links to interactive programs or Smart Forms feedback QRs posted at exits.
After the event
Thank-you texts with survey links lift response rates over email alone. Export Smart Forms feedback to Sheets for your postmortem.
Comply with consent: only registered guests, offer STOP guidance for marketing follow-ups, and keep transactional day-of notices separate from promo blasts.
Starter stack
