Send an SMS blast

Write a text, pick who gets it, preview it, and send — with consent handled for you.

TokTix has built-in SMS so you can text your audience directly — the most reliable way to fill a room. You write the message, pick who gets it, and TokTix handles the sending and the compliance.

Send a blast

  1. Go to the Messages tab and open your SMS hub.
  2. Tap New Blast.
  3. Write your message. Keep it short and lead with the ask — a date, a link, a reason to buy now.
  4. Choose your audience. You can send to everyone, or narrow it down by tag.
  5. Check the recipient count and use the preview to see exactly what will land.
  6. Tap Send now.

Build and organize your audience

Your subscribers live under Audience, grouped by status:

  • Subscribed — opted in to your marketing. These are who blasts go to.
  • Awaiting confirmation — invited but not yet confirmed.
  • Unsubscribed — opted out. TokTix won't text them, automatically.

Add tags to group people (e.g. vip, bushwick, past-buyer) so you can target a blast instead of texting everyone.

Consent & compliance (read this once)

Text marketing is regulated, and TokTix keeps you on the right side of it:

  • People must opt in before you can message them — TokTix manages that consent for you.
  • Every message respects STOP to unsubscribe and HELP for info.
  • Send at reasonable hours and keep it relevant. Blasting too often gets you muted or reported.

Tap the ? in the SMS hub any time for a quick best-practices and compliance refresher.

What to send

  • A launch: "Tickets are live — [link]."
  • A nudge as the date nears: "This Friday. Last tier almost gone."
  • A thank-you or re-engage to past buyers, tagged from a previous event.
