Can you SMS Invites in WorkZerk?

Not yet, but you can manually SMS event portal links

WorkZerk has been built with robust, fully integrated email sending & tracking. It allows Guests to RSVP by clicking on a guest portal link contained within an email sent from WorkZerk providing that person has an internet connection and can access a browser on their phone, or other device.

There is no current functionality within WorkZerk to SMS an invite directly from WorkZerk.

There is a feature though that generates a text based invite, which you can then copy and paste into your phone or another SMS platform. You can also use this manual invite feature to copy and paste into your own email system.

TIP: If you are wanting to send multiple invites using your own email system, it’s quicker to download the Invite List as a CSV file instead. Then you can import this into Mailchimp or your email service provider.

Simply click on the Crew member record on the Guest Tab and the MANUAL INVITE button is displayed along with other guest fields.

If you would really like to be able to SMS invites from within WorkZerk, please submit a feature request.

Scenario: Inviting adults with no email address

For adults with no email address, if they have a mobile phone number you can manually SMS the Event Portal link which is available within WorkZerk. Using software like Windows Phone link can be useful for this, or simply manually sending the text message from your phone.

You can also download the ‘Invites’ to a CSV file, which will contain individual Guest Portal links for all invited Guests and import this into any third party application.

Scenario: Inviting adults with no email address or mobile

For guests who are digitally disconnected and have neither a mobile phone number or email address, it is recommended you call them on a landline number and invite them this way, send an invitation by post or have another guest (their partner or friend) provide their RSVP status through the Group or +1 features of 1pm.
