Send photos to guests by text message

Guests can ask the booth to text them a link to their photo.

Set it up

1. Open the event and choose Settings → Sharing.
2. Switch on Text. Virtual booths do not offer it.
3. To change the message, open Settings → White label → Email, find Text message sender and choose Configure. The editor counts down from 160 characters. Every text also ends with "Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help", and texts sent by EventyBooth start with "EventyBooth:".

What the guest does

1. Taps Text on the share screen.
2. Picks the country from the flag menu. The United Kingdom is first, then the United States, Ireland and Canada. The booth remembers the last choice.
3. Types the number. A leading 0 is dropped and the country code added.
4. Taps Send. The screen explains that they will receive one text with a link.

Limits

• The photo must have finished uploading. Otherwise the guest sees "Still uploading — try again in a moment."
• One phone number can receive 5 texts an hour.
• When EventyBooth sends the texts, one event can send 300 an hour. After that guests are asked to try later or use the QR code.
