Happy 2021 from Crowdpurr! We're kicking the year off right with a brand new feature (that we didn't quite get done in 2020). It's here ready for you now in 2021!
Now you can send email and SMS text message notifications to participants to alert them of upcoming experiences they've been invited to!
SMS Text & Email Notifications
If you're a Classroom Plan subscriber or higher, you can now send SMS Text and Email Notifications to your participants! Send invites via SMS text or email with your experience's clickable URL right in the notification. This is a quick and easy way to alert your participants that your experience is starting soon. You can use notifications for a variety of reasons:
- Alert participants that your event is starting soon and to join by clicking on the included URL to join the event
- Notify participants that your event's date or start time has changed
- Reminding your participants several days or hours in advance about your event
- Any other type of important update for participants prior to your event actually starting
Notifications Use Your VIP Guest List
Notifications work by using your VIP Guest List of pre-registered participants. You can send notifications to participants registered on your VIP Guest List using their phone number or email address.
SMS Text Notifications
Sending an SMS (Short Message Service) text notification, also simply called "a text", allows you to input a simple notification and then send it off to all of your VIP Guests who you've added with a Phone Number. Participants will instantly get a text notification right on their phone with your message and URL!
Email Notifications
If your VIP Guest List has guests registered by email address, you can send email notifications with your custom notification content including a clickable URL to your experience! Your VIP Guests will instantly get an email with your notification content and experience URL.
To learn more about VIP Guest List Notifications, please see the Help Center article VIP Guest List Notifications.
Bug Fixes
In addition to the new features above, we squashed the following bugs in November including:
🐞 Next Round Caused Presentation View to Lose Configuration Menu
We fixed another bug with the Presentation View when using the Next Round feature. The lower-right Configuration Menu and Fullscreen buttons could disappear. Thanks to our users for reporting!
🐞 Some Participant View Questions in Crowd Controlled Mode Are Missing Logo Header
We fixed a bug with the Participant View when using Crowd Controlled Mode where some questions would load with the header missing. The header contains the logo, title, and description. Thanks to our users for reporting!
