Event sign-ups that make it into Constant Contact
A clipboard has to be typed up later, and a web form on a phone loses people before they tap submit. With Textiful, the whole sign-up happens in a text.
Made for community events
Sunday services, fundraisers, and open houses: anyone with a phone can join your newsletter list without finding a form.
A keyword or a QR code
Say “text DEMO to 33777” from the front of the room, or put a QR code where people can scan it. Either one starts your capture flow.
Give them a reason to sign up
Send your slides, a guide, or a discount in the same flow with handouts.

Where people grow their Constant Contact list
Questions people ask
Yes. Each Zap watches one flow, so give each event its own flow and Zap. Choose a different list for each event, or tag contacts by event.
No. The short codes 33777 and 55444 work in the US only, and QR codes text those same numbers, so Textiful is for audiences in the US.
