At a glance
Each person receives these on every channel they have: WhatsApp and email from their registration, and push if they use the Fast Party app. See How notifications work.
Invitation
“You’re invited.” The first message a guest gets about an event.- Sent when you invite a guest by phone number or email, or to every member of a circle when a circle event goes live.
- Includes the event name, date, time, venue, who’s hosting, and a personal link to the Event Page.
- Guests can RSVP from the link without downloading the app.
Confirmation
“You’re in.” Sent every time someone responds.- Covers RSVPs, registrations and payments. For a paid Registration Event, it includes the amount paid.
- Sent again whenever a guest changes their RSVP, so they always have the latest.
- For a Registration Event with approval required, the guest is told once they’re approved, and then pays.
Update
News about the event. Updates come in two forms.- Immediate
- Digest
When a host posts on the event wall or sends an event broadcast, guests are notified right away.Use this when something can’t wait until tomorrow: parking has moved, the schedule is up, photos are in.
Alert
Something important has changed. Alerts are kept separate from updates on purpose, so that when a guest sees an alert, they know it matters.- Used for changes guests must know about: a new date or time, a change of venue, or a cancellation.
- Sent immediately, on every channel.
- Guests who haven’t replied to the invitation yet still get alerts, even though they don’t get the everyday updates.
