Frequently Asked Questions

What WhatsApp message templates are included in this pack?

50 messages across the whole event: save the dates, invitations, early-bird reminders, speaker and agenda announcements, countdowns, day-of logistics, live session nudges, thank-yous, recording follow-ups and no-show messages.

What is a good WhatsApp message for an event invitation?

Include the event name, date, time, location or join link, one reason to attend and a clear call to action. Two or three lines is enough. For example: "Hi [Name], you're invited to [Event Name] on [Date] at [Time]. [One-line benefit]. Register here: [Link]"

How many WhatsApp messages should I send before an event?

Best practice for B2B events is 4–6 messages: a save-the-date, a formal invitation, an early-bird deadline reminder, a speaker or agenda highlight, a one-week reminder, and a 24-hour reminder. This pack includes templates for every pre-event touchpoint.

Can I use these templates with WhatsApp Business API platforms?

Yes. They're plain text with [bracketed fields], so they work with Wati, AiSensy, Interakt, Trengo or your own setup. Paste them into your template manager, map the variables and submit for approval.

What is the open rate for WhatsApp messages compared to email?

WhatsApp messages achieve open rates of around 98%, compared to 20–45% for email. Most messages are read within 3 minutes of delivery. For time-sensitive event communications like day-of reminders and live session nudges, WhatsApp significantly outperforms email.

How do I send WhatsApp messages to a large group of event attendees?

Use the WhatsApp Business API via a platform like Wati, AiSensy, or Interakt to broadcast to thousands of opted-in contacts at once. The standard WhatsApp Business app limits broadcasts to 256 contacts and requires recipients to have your number saved. For events over 300 attendees, the API is the recommended approach.

What should be included in a WhatsApp event reminder message?

An effective WhatsApp event reminder should include the event name, date, time, location or join link, and one clear action for the attendee. Keep it to 2–4 lines. Send at 7 days, 24 hours, and 1 hour before the event for maximum attendance.

Are these templates suitable for virtual and hybrid events?

Yes. Every template includes [bracketed fields] like [Platform Link], [Join Link], and [Venue Name] so they adapt instantly to virtual, hybrid, or in-person formats. Templates cover webinars, conferences, trade shows, and product launch events equally well.

What is the difference between a WhatsApp Business message and a template message?

A WhatsApp template message (HSM) is a pre-approved message used to initiate contact outside of a 24-hour conversation window. Regular messages can only be sent as replies within an active chat. For outbound event communications like invitations and reminders, approved template messages are required.

How do I get attendees to opt in to receive WhatsApp messages?

Collect opt-in at registration by adding a WhatsApp checkbox to your event registration form. You can also use a click-to-WhatsApp link, a QR code at your event, or a post-registration confirmation. Always make opt-in explicit and provide an easy way to opt out.

Does Eventify support WhatsApp messaging for event attendees?

Yes. Eventify sends WhatsApp messages alongside email and SMS, so invitations, reminders, live updates and follow-ups all run from one place.
