- Livestorm: 51% show-up. Moving 50% to 60% adds 30 attendees per 300 registrations at the same $12,000 spend (cost/attendee drops $13.33).
- Three sequences not one. 15.3% register day-of (don't see day-before), so confirmation must carry join link.
- GoHighLevel is native. REST API and webhooks for others.
Where iMessage runs in the funnel
Half registrants don't show; cost per attendee matters
Livestorm: 51% show-up. Moving 50% to 60% adds 30 attendees per 300 registrations at the same $12,000 spend (cost/attendee drops $13.33).
Four messages: confirm (60sec), day-before, hour-before, replay
Confirm on registration (peak intent). Day-before (local morning) rebuilds value. Hour-before with link and voice memo. Ungated replay within 2h (14.6x views vs gated).
Space them: register→confirm, +24h→day-before, -1h→live, +2h→replay
Three sequences not one. 15.3% register day-of (don't see day-before), so confirmation must carry join link. Relative delays land all messages at local times.

Frequently asked questions
How many messages per event?
Four for most events: confirm, day-before, hour-before, replay. Add a fifth start-time nudge for hard starts.
Does this replace email reminders?
No. Email carries calendar invite, agenda. iMessage carries four time-critical messages. Both layers show the clearest lift.
What about registrants without iMessage?
Falls back to RCS then SMS. Everyone gets the reminder; only the channel changes.
Do we need A2P registration?
No. iMessage is not carrier SMS. No A2P queue. Consent obligations unchanged.
How do we handle registrants across time zones?
Scheduled sends adapt. Store event start time on contact at registration; relative delays land day-before and hour-before at local times.
