Dynamic SMS Text Messages give you the power to send the right message to the right people at the right time, by knowing who has arrived on-site and who has not.
You can send a text message minutes or hours after someone checked-in to your event.
Examples of how people use this feature:
Welcome your attendee to your event
Invite attendees to visit the sponsor booth to redeem their free gift
Send a message only to attendees who had a VIP registration and let them know about their exclusive offers
Remind people about attractions or happenings taking place and their times and locations
Ask attendees to rate their experience hours after they arrived and then based on their rating invite them to leave a review or to give you feedback
Send a link to register for next year's event 12 hours after they were scanned in

Inactive vs Delete
Once you save your Dynamic Message, you can then copy, edit, view, or delete it. Once you save it, you will no longer be able to edit the message settings, only the message content itself.
If you try to set the Dynamic Message to Inactive and there are any messages in the queue, they will still be sent. If you want to halt all future messages from sending, including those in the queue, Delete the dynamic message.
NOTE: Character count includes message text, account name and opt-out language. Carriers will bill the message as two when using more than 160 characters.
