Don't let your audience forget you're going live. The Reminder Alert creates a pop-up on your session page where viewers can sign up to be notified right before you start: by SMS, email, or both. They can also add the session to their calendar with one tap.
Here's how to set it up:
Step 1: Go to your session's Reminder Alert tab
Open your session in the Terrific dashboard and click Session Details. In the tab navigation at the top, select Reminder Alert.
Step 2: Choose your notification channels
Check the options you want to collect from your audience:
Phone number. Remind by SMS to send a text reminder before you go live.
Email address. Remind by Email to send an email notification.
You can enable one or both; whatever fits your audience best.
Step 3: Add consent text (optional but recommended)
If you check Consent checkbox text, a text field appears where you can write a short message your viewers must agree to before signing up. Use the Insert URL text button to link to your Privacy Policy or Terms of Service.
Example: "I agree to receive reminders from [Your Brand]. See our [Privacy Policy]."
This is especially important if your audience is in regions with privacy regulations like GDPR.
Step 4: Check the preview
On the right side of the screen you'll see a live Preview of the pop-up your audience will see called the FOMO Alert. It shows the sign-up form, the fields you selected, and an Add to Calendar option so viewers can save the date even before they receive a reminder.
Step 5: Save your session
Hit Save session in the top right. Your Reminder Alert is now live and will appear on your session page automatically and stay visible until your live session begins.
💡 Pro tip: Enable both SMS and email for maximum reach: different people respond to different channels, and you'll get more sign-ups overall.
