Event registration and reminders
Sold out is not
the same as full.
A branded registration page, a booking system that keeps track of every sign-up, and confirmations and reminders that go out on WhatsApp and email without anyone typing a message. Built once for your event, on accounts and a number that stay yours, then re-used for the next one.

The part that does the work
Automatic WhatsApp,
from your own number.
In South Africa an email gets ignored and a WhatsApp gets opened. So the system talks to people where they are, on your business number, without anyone sitting and typing. Every message on the phone goes out on its own.
Set up on your own accounts, in your name. TwelveTwo is added as a partner you can remove in one click.

What it looks like
once it is built.
A ministry event in Krugersdorp, then the same system set up again for a second town. This is the machine doing its job, not a promise about how many people will walk through your door.

How many people register for your event depends on your event, your audience and your own marketing. What we build is the machine that handles them properly and messages every one of them on time. We will not pretend to sell you a turnout.
What gets built
The whole system,
in one build.
Not a page and a spreadsheet. A joined-up system where the registration, the list and the messages are the same thing, so nothing needs copying from one place to another.
- A branded registration page
On your own domain, in your own branding, built to open fast on a phone on rural data. It is the front door, and it is yours.
- A booking and registration system
Every sign-up captured properly, including group bookings and how many people each one is bringing, so you always know what you have on the books.
- Automatic WhatsApp, on your own number
Confirmation, a reminder the week before, one on the morning, a thank-you after. Set up once and then it runs, from your business number.
- Automatic email alongside it
Wired into Mailchimp or Kit on your own account, so the same sequence goes out by email for anyone who prefers it.
- A list that is organised, not a pile
Tagged by town, by event and by group size, so next time you can talk to the right people instead of blasting everyone.
- Built once, re-used every event
The second event re-uses the machine rather than rebuilding it, which is why it costs less and takes days instead of weeks.
No lock-in
The audience you build
belongs to you.
Every person who registers for your event is someone you should be able to reach again next year, without asking anyone’s permission.
Stays yours.
Set up on your own Meta business account. We are added as a partner you can remove in one click, and we are never the owner of anything of yours.
Cheaper, not dearer.
The first event builds the machine. Every event after that re-uses it, which is why the second one costs less than the first and takes days rather than weeks.
Before you ask anyone, including us
The WhatsApp part has a clock on it, and it is not ours.
Nobody tells you this until it has already cost you, so here it is up front. Sending WhatsApp reminders from your own business number means going through Meta first, and Meta sets the pace.
None of it is difficult. All of it takes time you have not budgeted for, and it all sits in front of the first message. Which is why the first question is when your event is, and why we would rather tell you what is realistic than sell you something that will not be ready.
- 3 TO 14 DAYSBusiness verification. No guaranteed turnaround. Until it lands, your account reaches 250 people per day instead of 2 000. At a thousand registrations, a message saying "tonight at seven" then takes four days to deliver.
- NO FIXED TIMEDisplay name review. The name people see when your message arrives goes through its own approval.
- 72 HOUR LOCKOUTNumber registration. Ten attempts in three days, then the number locks for three more. Worth getting right first time.
- PER NEW WORDINGTemplate approval. Every message wording is approved in advance. Late copy changes cost days.
- DAY ONEA card that works internationally. Meta bills in US dollars from Ireland, and most South African cards decline that by default until it is switched on in the banking app.
Straight answers
What organisers ask first.
How far ahead of my event do you need?
Six weeks or more and we can build the whole thing, including WhatsApp reminders. Between four and six weeks it is tight but workable, and we start the Meta application on day one. Under four weeks we will not promise WhatsApp reminders, because Meta’s business verification alone takes three to fourteen working days. In that case we do the registration page and email properly, and set the WhatsApp side up ready for your next event.
Who owns the list of people who register?
You do, in your own Mailchimp account, tagged and segmented. It is not held inside a platform you rent from us. Your WhatsApp number stays yours as well, on your own Meta business account, with TwelveTwo added as a partner you can remove in one click.
We already sell tickets through Quicket. Is this still useful?
Usually yes. A ticketing platform handles the transaction and stops there. It does not send reminders on WhatsApp in the days before, and the audience you built sits inside their system rather than yours. That automated follow-through is the part we build, and it runs alongside whatever you already use to sell tickets.
Do the WhatsApp messages come from my own number?
Yes. The system is set up on your own WhatsApp Business account, under your own Meta business profile, so the messages arrive from you rather than from an agency. TwelveTwo is added as a partner you can remove in one click, and the number and the account remain yours whatever happens between us.
Tell me about it
Try the system on yourself.
Fill this in and you will get a WhatsApp confirmation within a minute. That is not a gimmick, it is the product: the same automatic message your own guests would get the moment they register.
It also tells you honestly how much time we have to build before your date.
- If we are not the right fit, I will say soand point you somewhere better. That happens fairly often and it costs you nothing to find out.
