Example (PHP) – Sending Event Reminder via WhatsApp:
<?php
// Wbiztool API credentials
$apiKey = 'YOUR_API_KEY';
$clientId = 'YOUR_CLIENT_ID';
$whatsappClientId = 'YOUR_WHATSAPP_CLIENT_ID';
// Attendee information
$phone = '1234567890';
$countryCode = '91';
$message = 'Reminder: Your event starts tomorrow at 10 AM. Don’t miss out!';
// API request payload
$data = json_encode([
'client_id' => $clientId,
'api_key' => $apiKey,
'whatsapp_client' => $whatsappClientId,
'phone' => $phone,
'country_code' => $countryCode,
'msg' => $message
]);
// Initialize cURL
$ch = curl_init('https://wbiztool.com/api/v1/send_msg/');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, ['Content-Type: application/json']);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
// Execute the request
$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
if ($response) {
echo 'Reminder sent successfully!';
} else {
echo 'Failed to send reminder.';
}
?>
- Schedule Reminders: Use the API’s scheduling feature to send reminders days or hours before the event. For example, send a reminder 24 hours before the event starts and another an hour before it begins.
Tips for Effective Event Reminders
- Personalize Your Messages: Include the attendee’s name and specific event details to make the reminder feel personal.
- Send Multiple Reminders: Send reminders at strategic times, such as a week before, 24 hours before, and an hour before the event.
- Include Important Information: Ensure the reminder contains critical details such as the time, location, and any materials the attendee might need.
