What Evant is
Evant is an SMS platform for community organizations to communicate with attendees and manage event RSVPs. Its listed event uses include school events, weddings, parties, corporate events, fundraisers, religious services, conferences, sports events, and virtual events. Messaging tools include two-way mass messaging, broadcasts, keyword triggers, scheduled messages, and targeted messaging. RSVP tools include a website, subscriber management, analytics and reporting, and a dedicated 10-digit phone number. Evant says its data collection and CRM integrations provide engagement statistics across subgroups and individuals. Organizers use a mobile-friendly web platform, while participants engage by SMS; neither needs to download an app. The pricing page lists integrations and API access as Enterprise Plan features. Evant’s privacy policy says it does not collect end-user data or share, sell, or trade customers’ phone numbers, and describes technical and organizational measures to protect data. Sending messages requires platform approval and completion of the proper US A20-10DLC registrations. Occasional-Use costs $20 a month; other listed plans include usage-based message rates.
