Event organisers running CrowdPass tend to have one thing in common, a guest list that keeps changing right up until the door opens, with RSVPs trickling in by phone, email and text long after the official registration form has closed.

Mobile Message catches the ones that arrive by text. When a past invitee or a plus one replies to confirm they are coming, that message can be passed straight to CrowdPass through Zapier and turned into a new attendee record, so the person checking guests in on the night is working from a list that already includes them.

This works for any event running on CrowdPass, a fundraiser gala where late confirmations keep arriving by text, a conference where a colleague texts on behalf of someone else, or a community event where people simply reply yes to the last reminder sent. Rather than an organiser copying names from a phone into a spreadsheet between other jobs, the reply becomes the attendee record on its own.
