How does missed call event registration work?

Missed call event registration lets people sign up by calling a number printed on the invitation, poster or ad. The call is cut so it is free, the caller receives the date, time and venue by SMS or WhatsApp, and their number joins the attendee list for reminders, seat planning and check-in at the event.

Questions about Missed call event registration

What kinds of events suit missed call registration?

Free or low-cost events promoted offline: health and eye camps, farmer meetings, school open days, seminars, walk-in hiring drives, product demos at dealerships and community workshops. Ticketed events that need payment are better served by an online form or a payment link sent after the missed call.

Can people cancel their registration?

Yes. Add a Can't attend button to the WhatsApp confirmation, or a separate cancel number in the SMS. Cancellations free a seat, which you can offer to the waiting list with an automatic message.

How do we check people in at the venue?

The confirmation SMS carries a registration number. At the gate, staff search the attendee's mobile or registration number in the downloaded list or your event app. For large camps, a printed list sorted by the last four digits of the mobile is quick.

Can we collect the attendee's name with a missed call?

A missed call gives you only the mobile number. If you need names or details, send a WhatsApp message asking for them after the call, or collect them at the venue. For most free events, the number and a registration code are enough.

How do we stop the list filling with duplicates?

Repeat calls from the same mobile are recognised and counted once; the caller gets the same registration number again. Families registering several people from one phone should be asked to bring the SMS and mention the number attending.

Can we send reminders to everyone who registered?

Yes. Download the list or use the webhook data to send a reminder SMS or WhatsApp the evening before with the venue, time and what to bring. Reminders about the event they registered for are service messages, not promotions.
