Updates

The show starts fifteen minutes late. You type one message and send it to all guests, or to one group: nominees, press, table 12. It arrives on WhatsApp, which your guests already have open. Nobody has to look for an email during the show.

  • Groups come from your guest list: tier, table, ticket type
  • Schedule the doors, seating and afterparty messages in advance
  • See who received the message and who read it

Tonight
Doors are open. Your seat is row 4, seat 12. The show starts at 19:45.
Stuck on the A10, there in 15 minutes. Please keep my seat 🙏
Your seat is yours. Door A knows you are coming.
Hi, could we get two more glasses of champagne at table 12?
On its way. Two minutes.
Afterparty is at Escape, Rembrandtplein 11. Your wristband gets you in.

Replies

Table 12 wants two more glasses of champagne, so they send a message. A nominee is stuck in traffic, so she sends a message. Every reply lands in one inbox in your dashboard. Your team answers from there, two people at the same time, and nobody answers twice.

  • One inbox for the whole team, on show night and the week before
  • Requests from the table, not from a queue at the bar
  • Guest not in yet? Message them straight from the live count

Dear guest,
Thank you! Your registration for the Creator Awards on 14 November 2026 19:30 in Theater Amsterdam has been successfully received.
🎟️ You have registered for 2 tickets.
Add to Apple Wallet

The ticket in the chat

The ticket and the wallet pass arrive on WhatsApp the moment a guest registers. On show night they scroll up, not through their inbox. The seat number is in the same message, so nobody asks where to sit.

  • Ticket PDF plus Apple or Google Wallet pass
  • Guests opt in at RSVP, so consent is on record
  • Sent from a verified WhatsApp Business number
The afterparty of an award show: the host on stage with his arms wide, guests cheering, lit letters spelling the awards name behind him

Afterparty

When the show ends, every guest gets the afterparty address, the door time and what the wristband does. Nobody has to dig up last week's PDF or a photo of a slide. The room empties in the right direction.

  • Timed messages: doors, seating, afterparty, taxi
  • One group at a time: nominees first, press later
  • The morning after: the photos and a thank-you, on the same thread

Questions about WhatsApp for events

  • Do guests need to install anything?

    No. They receive the messages in WhatsApp, which most guests in the Netherlands already use. Guests without WhatsApp get the same messages by email.

  • Is this a WhatsApp group?

    No. Every guest has a private thread with your event. Guests do not see each other's numbers and cannot reply to all.

  • Do guests have to agree to this?

    Yes. Guests opt in when they register or buy a ticket. The consent is stored with the guest. They can opt out with one reply.

  • Is there a fee per message?

    No. The WhatsApp line is part of the Show plan. You pay a flat fee per event, not per message.

  • Who answers the guests?

    Your team, from the dashboard. Several people can answer at the same time. We set up the templates and the groups with you in the onboarding call.

  • Which events is it built for?

    Award shows, galas and product launches. One night, one room, and guests who expect to be looked after.

An empty theatre auditorium before doors open, red seats and a lit stage.

The seats are empty now.

Tell us about your event. You get a reply within one working day and an onboarding slot within the week.
