Plan chat is the shared group chat for each plan. It’s the main place to communicate with everyone attending.
What chat is for
Use plan chat to communicate with all guests in one place.
Common uses:
- sharing updates or reminders
- coordinating timing or location details
- answering questions from guests
- helping guests connect with each other
Plan chat keeps everything relevant to the plan in one thread.
Notifications
Guests will receive notifications when there is activity in plan chat.
This includes:
- new messages
- updates from the host
Guests will also receive automatic notifications:
- when major plan details are updated (like date, time, or location)
- 1 week before the plan
- 24 hours before the plan
Plan creation notifications are sent once per day at 11am. If you create a plan after 11am, it will be included in the next day’s notification batch.
Guests can manage or mute notifications in their settings.
Notification delivery depends on each guest’s settings (push notifications, SMS, or both).
Text updates (Txt Bump)
You can send a text message to your guests directly from your plan.
