Communicating about my Event using SMS Text Messages
====================================================
Using SMS as a communication strategy for your event establishes interaction between organizers,
attendees, speakers and further targets. It allows your message to be heard whether the goal is to
send out reminders, teasers or to advertise.
Configuration
=============
| Under *Communication* SMS is a standard feature. That means nothing needs to be enabled or
installed.
| On the other hand, to contact the speakers of your event, you need the *SMS Marketing* application
installed, and to enable *Schedule & Tracks* under :menuselection:`Events --> Configuration -->
Settings`.

.. tip::
The *Schedule & Tracks* feature allows you to manage the agenda and speakers of your event. For
more details watch: `Creating an agenda for your event
<https://www.odoo.com/slides/slide/create-an-agenda-for-your-event-717?fullscreen=1>`_.
Send SMSs to attendees
======================
| Under *Communication*, the messages target is the attendees of your event.
| You can choose to confirm each registration with the *Registration* template, and to send a
reminder shortly before the event takes place with the *Reminder* template.

| If *Event Track* is not your target (*Recipient*), choose the right one. *Filters* are eligible
here.
| In the example below, the SMS would be sent to the speakers who are in the stage *Proposal* on
*Event Track*.
