In this article, you can find out how to use the zkipster's Check-in Message feature to send messages to your event team and/or guests.

Please note: Essential plans have a default check-in message. Professional plans allow customization of the message with up to 160 characters. Find out how to set up and customize the Check-in message in the article here.

The Check-in Messages feature can be used for:

- Internal notifications to your team

- External notifications to your guests

Please Note: Numbers under the Check-In Message Text field cannot be used to send SMS/WhatsApp messages from 'Communications'.

For Internal Notifications

Use the check-in text messages to communicate with the rest of your team. With the dynamic tags, you can convey guest information and specific instructions for guests arriving at the door:

Let your team know when guests arrive, so they can greet them
Share specific guest's instructions with the Event Host

For External Notifications

With a Professional subscription, instead of using the feature internally, you can create a guest-facing check-in text message and trigger it to your guests at they arrive:

Send a personalized welcome message to each one or group of guests
Let your guests know about their table assignments
Distribute event WiFi details or any other information you might like to pass on.

Please note: depending on the country your guests' phone number is from, the SMS text triggered by the Check-In Message feature might not be delivered to your guest. This might happen due to strict SMS regulations. You can read more about this here.
