Step through the play as the guest.

Ella hears about your open evening from a form, a poster or an invite. Each step shows what she sees on WhatsApp and what lands on her HubSpot record, from the invite to a booked place. Your answers in the Flow decide the branch. All five properties are custom ones the play creates.

    Try a live Flow

    Scan the code with your phone to open one in WhatsApp. It’s Flowella’s own Flow, not this playbook.

    The event reminder blueprint.

    An invite, a three-question Flow, then one branch: people who are coming get booked and reminded, and the rest get the recording. You build it in a HubSpot workflow, from Flowella’s WhatsApp triggers and actions.

    • Trigger
    • Send WhatsApp
    • Delay

    • Goal
    • Numbered note
    1. Enrolment triggerA form, a poster QR or an invite list

      A HubSpot form, the first WhatsApp message from your code, or list membership.

    2. Delay5 minutes, for form sign-ups

      QR scans messaged first, and the invite list goes at a time you pick.

    3. Send WhatsApp TemplateThe invite

      event_invite, with the date and the Flow button “Save my place”.

      Ask in one message

      The date and the Flow together, so a yes takes three taps and no form.

    4. Delay until event happensForm Completed, up to 3 days

      The answers land as attendance_intent, attendance_mode and access_needs.

      No answer in 3 days: the workflow ends. No chasing.

      Don’t chase silence

      No answer in 3 days is an answer. One invite is enough.

    5. BranchIs attendance_intent yes or maybe?

      A yes or a maybe books the place; a no plans the recording.

      Confirm straight away

      A booked place with a calendar link sets up every reminder that follows.

      Send the link on the morning

      Put the joining link in the morning message’s text, from the record, so each guest’s link works.

    Workflow triggers and actions need HubSpot Professional or Enterprise. The answers land as contact properties on every HubSpot plan, Free included. Workflow actions guide

    Copy that gets them in the room.

    Three WhatsApp templates and the Flow they open carry the booking, and the day-before and morning reminders follow the same style. Every variable comes from the HubSpot record.

    • event_inviteMarketingEnglish (UK)Sample data

      Sends 5 minutes after the form, straight back to a QR scan, or to the list

      Save your placeHi {{first_name}}, our {{event_name}} is on {{event_date}}, here at the Institute and online. Save your place in three taps and we’ll send everything you need here.Reply STOP to opt outSave my place
      Save your placeHi Ella, our open evening is on Thursday at 6pm, here at the Institute and online. Save your place in three taps and we’ll send everything you need here.Reply STOP to opt outSave my place

      The date and the Flow in one message, so saying yes takes three taps.

    • event_placeWhatsApp Flow1 screenSample data

      Opens from the invite’s button, synced from your HubSpot form

      The Flow, Save your place: will you join us (yes, I’ll be there; maybe, remind me; I can’t make it), how will you join (in person, online) and an optional question, any access or dietary needs.

      Ella’s Flow, with yes, I’ll be there and in person chosen, and the optional question left blank.

      Coming or not, in person or online, and any needs. Each answer lands as its own property.

    • event_bookedUtilityEnglish (UK)Sample data

      Sends when attendance_intent is yes or maybe

      Confirms the place and says exactly when the next messages arrive.

    • event_recordingMarketingEnglish (UK)Sample data

      Sends when attendance_intent is no

      No problem, {{first_name}}. We’ll send the recording here after the {{event_name}}, and you can reply any time to save a place at the next one.Reply STOP to opt out
      No problem, Ella. We’ll send the recording here after the open evening, and you can reply any time to save a place at the next one.Reply STOP to opt out

      Keeps the door open without a guilt trip, and the recording still lands.

    Sample templates. Meta approves each template before it can send, and the Send WhatsApp Template action maps HubSpot properties to its variables.

    Five things that tell you who will turn up.

    The play captures all five, and each lands in HubSpot as something a workflow can read, not a guess on the night.

    5 signals, what each looks like, and where each lands in HubSpot

    Why event reminders on WhatsApp work.

    Sign-ups are easy to forget and emails easy to miss. WhatsApp puts the date and the joining link where people actually look.

    • Why attendance drops

      People forget, lose the link or decide it can wait. A reminder the day before and the details on the morning rebuild the plan without another list-wide email.

    • How to enhance it

      Add a calendar link, split sessions by topic, route people who ask questions to sales, and send attendees a short feedback Flow after the event.

    • Gotchas

      Mind time zones, suppress cancelled events, never send a stale joining link, and keep the recording message helpful rather than guilty.

    The point: a registration is a promise, and WhatsApp helps people keep it.
