Open house visitors who make it into Lofty
Paper sign-in sheets collect fake names and unreadable emails, and someone has to type them in on Monday. With Textiful, visitors sign in by text from their own phone and land in your CRM before they leave the driveway.
A digital sign-in sheet
Every visitor signs in by text with their real email and phone, ready for your Lofty follow-up.
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.
Ask what matters to you
A capture flow asks whether they’re working with an agent, when they plan to move, or if they need to sell first.

Questions people ask
Yes. Each Zap watches one flow, so give each event its own flow and Zap. Set the source or tag to the property, so each open house shows up as its own source.
No. Leave them empty. Texting your keyword to Textiful isn’t agreement to receive texts from your Lofty account.
Zapier’s Create Lead action has no update option, so Lofty decides what happens to a repeat sign-up. Add a find step before it in your Zap if you want to match existing people first.
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.
