Does this work with Zoom’s “Webinar starting soon” event?
Yes. The Zapier trigger fires when Zoom reports your webinar is about to begin, then D7 Messaging sends the SMS instantly.

How do I include the unique join link?
Map Zoom’s join URL field into your D7 Messaging SMS template within Zapier, so each attendee receives their own link.

Can I message international registrants?
Absolutely. D7 Messaging supports global delivery; ensure phone numbers are stored in E.164 format for best results.

What about opt-in and compliance?
Collect consent during registration and include clear opt-out text (e.g., “Reply STOP to opt out”). Configure your Zap to respect unsubscribe lists.

Will this replace my email reminders?
It complements email. SMS provides real-time webinar alerts right before the session, improving attendance alongside your email cadence.

Can I also send OTPs or secure links?
Yes. Beyond reminders, D7 Messaging powers OTP automation and authentication workflows using the same reliable infrastructure.
