The confirmation after signing up, the reminder the day before, the "we moved to room B" an hour before doors open: Unlimited Messaging sends them by WhatsApp, SMS and email, from your own number and address.

The week before an event

## A guest list, a venue, and a forecast that keeps changing

Unlimited Messaging lets an event organizer message guests by WhatsApp, SMS and email from their own number, mailbox and phone, and automate RSVP confirmations, day-before reminders and last-minute updates from a guest list or a ticketing tool.

Monday you chase the RSVPs that never came. Thursday the caterer needs final numbers. Friday it rains, the garden party moves indoors and 80 people need to know before they leave home. A newsletter tool sends a nice email that lands in Promotions; a WhatsApp group with 80 strangers turns into noise.

With Unlimited Messaging, each guest gets a personal message on the channel they read: WhatsApp first, SMS from your Android phone for those without it, and the full programme by email from your own address. One request can send all three. A new row in Google Sheets or an Eventbrite order can trigger the confirmation through n8n, and replies like "we'll be 3, not 2" land in one inbox.

Same idea for [hotels confirming bookings](https://unlimitedmessaging.app/articles/hotel-whatsapp-booking-confirmations) and [restaurants reminding guests](https://unlimitedmessaging.app/articles/restaurant-sms-reservation-reminders). Texting from your own phone is explained on [the SMS page](https://unlimitedmessaging.app/channels/sms).

What changes

## What Unlimited Messaging changes for an event organizer

Guests hear from you personally, on the app they check, and a change of plan reaches everyone in one go.

1. 01  
### Confirmations without copy-paste  
With n8n, a new line in your Google Sheets guest list or a new Eventbrite order sends a personal confirmation with the date, place and a link to the programme.
2. 02  
### One request, three channels  
The same update can go by WhatsApp, SMS and email in a single API call or n8n step, so a guest who missed one still sees another.
3. 03  
### Last-minute changes that land  
Rain plan, new room, delayed start: send the change to the whole list from your own number, and read the "OK, thanks" replies in one inbox.
4. 04  
### Your number, free to start  
Link your WhatsApp by QR code, your mailbox over IMAP/SMTP and your SIM through the Android app. No per-message fee, on the free plan too.

Setup

## Ready in 3 steps, before invitations go out

1. 01  
### Create your account

In n8n, plug Google Sheets or Eventbrite into the Unlimited Messaging node for confirmations and the day-before reminder, or ask Claude to send the change.

Copy-ready messages

## 5 messages guests should get from you

Replace what is in brackets. Short enough to read on a phone, personal enough not to feel like a mailing.

1. 01 · WhatsApp  
### Registration confirmed  
Hi \[First name\], you're on the list for \[event\] on \[date\] at \[time\], \[venue\]. The programme is here: \[link\]. See you there!

Good to know

## Good habits for a large guest list

1. 01  
### Guests who signed up  
Message people who registered or gave you their number for the event. Blasting a bought list from your WhatsApp gets the number banned, whatever the tool.
2. 02  
### SMS for the few, WhatsApp for the many  
Texts leave from your phone at about 30 every 30 minutes and count against your plan. For 200 guests, send by WhatsApp and keep SMS for those without it.
3. 03  
### Attachments and branding need a paid plan  
Free messages carry a short footer and are text only. Ticket PDFs, maps and photos as attachments, and footer-free messages, need Medium or Max.

Key takeaway

### Guests stay informed, even when the plan changes

Confirmations, day-before reminders and last-minute updates leave from your own number and address, on WhatsApp, SMS and email at once, and every reply lands in the same place.

FAQ

## Questions event organizers ask

Yes. Messages leave from your own WhatsApp number, your own email address and the SIM in your phone, so guests recognise you and can reply directly.

Yes. The free plan is permanent, needs no credit card and has no per-message fee, but messages carry a short "Sent with UnlimitedMessaging.app" footer. Medium (€19/month) and Max (€29/month) remove it and add attachments such as ticket PDFs.

Yes, through n8n: its Eventbrite trigger and Google Sheets node can start a workflow that sends the confirmation through the Unlimited Messaging node. There is no direct Eventbrite app.

Send one message to the guest list from the app, the API or n8n, on WhatsApp and SMS together. With Claude or ChatGPT connected, you can also ask it to write and send the update after you approve it.

Yes. Your number is linked as a connected device, like WhatsApp Web, so you keep answering guests from your phone as usual. WhatsApp allows up to four linked devices next to your phone; Unlimited Messaging uses one.
