How can I check if a text message reminder was delivered to my ticket buyers?

You can quickly check the status of text message event reminders by heading to the 'Orders' tab of your Ticket Tailor dashboard.

Sometimes your ticket buyers might contact you saying they've not received a text message confirmation or reminder about their event. You can easily check the delivery status from the Orders section of your dashboard.

What each text message delivery status means

Delivered: The message was successfully sent and delivered to your ticket buyer's phone. You'll see a green tick icon.

Sent: The message has been sent but we haven't received confirmation of delivery yet. You'll see a green tick icon.

Scheduled: The message is queued and will be sent at the scheduled time. You'll see a blue clock icon.

Failed: The message couldn't be delivered. This appears with a red warning icon. Hover over the status to see the reason it failed.

Superseded: The message failed on one method but was successfully recovered by sending via an alternative method. This row appears for reference only – the overall delivery status will show as Delivered or Sent.

Cancelled: The message was cancelled and won't be sent.


💡 Things to note

  • If a message failed because the recipient opted out of messages, they won't receive any future text message reminders.

  • If a message failed because of an invalid phone number, check the contact details on the order and update them if needed.
