WhatsApp Updates

Your guests' photos,
delivered on WhatsApp.

A guest who wants updates on WhatsApp gives a number, confirms it with a one-time code, then gets a message when they register and another with their own gallery link the moment their photos are found. No app to open, no group to join.

Where guests already have it open

A WhatsApp message tends to get opened where an email can sit unread, which matters most for the one message that actually carries a guest's photos.

It is one more channel inside an event's own event marketing, sitting alongside email and the guest page itself, not replacing either.

For your event

What it does for you

A message when they're found

The moment a guest's photos are matched, a WhatsApp message goes out with the link to their own gallery, the same trigger that sends the email, just on a second channel.

A number that's actually proven

A one-time code on WhatsApp confirms the number before anything else is sent to it, the same way a guest proves an email address.

Their own language, automatically

Arabic or English, whichever the guest was using on the event page. Nothing for you to translate or choose.

How it works

One switch. Two messages, when they matter.

For guests

01

Give a number, prove it

Tick "Send me updates on WhatsApp", add a number, and enter the one-time code sent to prove it's theirs.

02

A message when they register

A short note that they're signed up. Nothing to click yet.

03

A message when their photos are found

With the link straight to their own private gallery.

For organisers

01

Turn on WhatsApp updates

One switch on the event, included on every plan.

02

Nothing else to set up

No template to write, no list to manage, no separate step for Arabic.

03

Messages go out on their own

Sent from the same place the emails are: when a guest registers, and again once their photos are found.

Beyond updates

What a guest can share on WhatsApp

Their own photos

Once face recognition finds them in the gallery, sharing a photo to WhatsApp is the same one tap as anywhere else.

Their "I'm attending" card

Built on the event's own artwork, with a Share on WhatsApp button already on it, before the event even starts. See attending cards.

The event link itself

The same link handed out anywhere else. A guest can send it on to whoever they're bringing, just as easily.

Privacy

A number is contact detail, never an identity

The code is what proves a number belongs to the guest holding it, never a name typed into a box. Nothing is sent to a number until that code has been entered correctly.

A guest's gallery is never opened by a phone number alone. It opens on a selfie match or a completed registration, exactly as it would without WhatsApp involved at all; WhatsApp only carries the link once that is already settled.

Reply STOP on WhatsApp and that number is done hearing from the event, permanently. A guest who never opts in, or who stops, can still find their own photos on the event page itself, exactly like every other guest can.

Common questions

What organisers ask about WhatsApp updates

Do guests have to give a phone number to use Eventiere?

No. WhatsApp updates are optional. A guest who skips it still finds their photos with a selfie, and every gallery stays reachable from the event page itself, WhatsApp or not.

How does Eventiere know the number actually belongs to the guest?

A one-time code is sent to the number on WhatsApp. Nothing else is sent to it until that code is entered back correctly.

Does WhatsApp send the actual photos?

No. Every message carries a link to the guest's own gallery, never a photo file. Photos stay on the gallery page, where they can be viewed and downloaded properly.

What happens if a guest replies STOP?

Nothing further is ever sent to that number. They can still open their gallery from the event page directly.

Does this work in Arabic?

Yes. Each message goes out in whichever language the guest was using on the event page, English or Arabic, automatically.

Is WhatsApp updates available on every plan?

Yes, including the free plan. Check pricing for what else each plan includes.
