🔧 Requirements for Using Marketing
Before you can use the Marketing feature, please ensure the following setup is complete:
✅ 1. Twilio Account Integration
You must have your own Twilio account connected to your Curator account. This is how your messages are sent.
We do not charge per message—you’ll be billed directly through Twilio for any SMS usage.
It is the account holder's responsibility to create, manage, and configure their own Twilio account.
You will choose the Twilio number you'd like to send from during campaign setup.
✅ 2. Vanity URL Setup
To use Marketing, you must:
Have a vanity URL configured in your account.
Have used that vanity URL with the event you plan to send messages to.
This ensures that recipients recognize your brand and messaging is compliant.
📲 Creating an SMS Campaign
Once your Twilio and Vanity URL setup is complete, follow these steps:
Go to the Marketing tab in your dashboard.
Create a new campaign by selecting:
The Twilio number you wish to use.
The event you want to send messages for.
Compose your message to be sent to everyone who entered a phone number during that event.
(Optional) Insert a dynamic snippet that will auto-populate the last photo sent to each guest.
This is a great way to remind recipients of the experience and connect the message to something personal.Choose to:
Send now (instantly).
Schedule the SMS to go out at a specific time.
📢 Important Notes
All messages sent through Marketing are one-way (no replies allowed).
Every message should include:
"Reply STOP to unsubscribe. Msg&Data rates may apply."Including an image or reference to the guest’s photo enhances recognition and engagement.
📘 Example Use Case
You hosted a 360 photo booth at an event and want to send a follow-up message with a discount or a thank you. With the Marketing tool:
You select the event tied to your Vanity URL.
Choose your Twilio number.
Compose your message and include the dynamic photo snippet.
Schedule it to go out the next morning when guests are more likely to engage.
It’s fast, simple, and ensures your brand remains top-of-mind.
