### **Accessing SMS Notification Settings**
1. Log in to the Event Backend.
2. From the left navigation menu, go to:
**Badge Printing App → Badge Printing Settings
**
3. Locate the toggle:
**Send SMS Notification on Badge Print?
**
### **Enabling SMS Notifications**
Enable the **Send SMS Notification on Badge Print?** toggle.
Once enabled, additional SMS configuration settings will appear on the screen.
#### **Choosing Where SMS Notifications Are Sent**
You will see a dropdown field titled:
Choose an option to send SMS
This dropdown includes two options:
1. Send SMS on a single number for all attendees
2. Send SMS to different number for each attendee
#### **Sending SMS to a Single Number**
Select:
**Send SMS on a single number for all attendees**
A field titled: "Phone number where SMS will be sent" will appear.
Enter the phone number where all badge printing SMS notifications should be delivered.
This option is useful when event organizers want all badge printing updates to be sent to a centralized number.
#### **Sending SMS to Attendees Individually**
If you want each attendee to receive their own SMS notification when their badge is printed, select:
Send SMS to different number for each attendee
The field will update to:
**Select the registration form field where phone number is saved**
From this dropdown, select the phone number field from your registration form.
**Important:** Your registration form must already contain a phone number field for this setup to work correctly.
Once configured, attendees will automatically receive SMS notifications on the phone number they used during registration whenever their badge is printed.
### **Creating Dynamic SMS Messages**
Use the field:
**Enter the message content to be sent via SMS**
to create your SMS notification message.
You can type a static message or personalize it using dynamic tags.
To insert a dynamic field:
1. Type **@**
2. A dropdown list of available tags will appear
3. Select the desired field
Example:
Hi @First\_Name, your badge has been printed successfully.
When the SMS is sent, the selected tag will automatically be replaced with the attendee’s actual information.
### **Testing SMS Notifications**
You will also see an optional option titled:
**Test SMS Message**
****
Clicking this option opens a popup where you can enter:
- A phone number
- A test message
This allows you to verify that SMS notifications are working correctly before using them during your event.
Once configured, SMS notifications will automatically be triggered whenever badges are printed through the Onsite App.
