Send SMS notifications to attendees using Twilio for Dryfta

Twilio integration for Dryfta is out. For those who do not know about Twilio, it is a Messaging platform to send SMS from any app, and ensure deliverability using intelligent delivery features.

As an event organizer, you can do the following using Twilio:

  • Send SMSs when someone registers on your event website
  • Notify through SMS when someone purchases a ticket
  • Send automated event reminders to attendees on their registered phone numbers
  • Push an emergency notification to all of your attendees
  • Ask attendees to complete their registration form
  • Notify attendees about a sudden change in one of the program sessions

Update: Organizers can now send mass SMSs to all registrants. Simply enter your text, choose the registrant type and click on Send button to send SMSs to everyone at once.

To start sending automated SMSs to your attendees, you need to purchase a plan at Twilio’s website, get the credentials and enter those credentials into Twilio settings in your Dryfta dashboard.

With the latest update, we have made event snapshots page more visually appealing. The tables with textual data has been replaced with colorful bar graphs and line charts, and added a world map visual graph to display countries with most participants.

To display change from last week for various single data points, we added percentage change under each number widget. That will give you an idea of how your event is faring at every passing week.

Want to know which sessions & speakers are hot favorite among attendees?

Being an event organizer, one needs to make sure his/her attendees are engaged on the highest level. To make sure an attendee is engaged, it is important to have engaging and relevant sessions and speakers, among other things.

But how would you know if your attendee is engaged, or not? Dryfta helps you know if your sessions and speakers are engaging your attendees. It also lets you know if a session is too interesting and the room is overfilled. In that case, you can arrange for a larger room with more moderators for more healthy discussion on the session’s topic.

Create your Event registration & Abstract submission forms using Visual Form Builder

As promised, the upgraded Form builder is now live and accessible from your dashboard. Creating custom fields for your forms including event registration and abstract submission forms, is now easier than ever.

The text buttons are replaced with visual icons and text buttons to allow more easier understanding of what it (button) does. The absence of too many texts also created more whitespace making it more easier and calmer for event admins to create custom fields!

We also felt the field editor popup was creating a sense of alienation and was not as seamless as we envisioned. So, instead of opening the field editor in a popup, it now opens in the same window.
