Adding Event Staff by Text Message

Tourney Direct allows event operators to add staff instantly using a simple text message. Instead of logging into the platform, operators can send a text with the staff member’s name and phone number or email. Tourney Direct automatically creates the contact, associates them with the operator’s organization, and sends the staff member an invitation to register. This streamlined process eliminates forms and manual invitations, allowing operators to add staff quickly from anywhere. Add one or multiple staff in a single text.

Tourney Direct allows event operators to add staff instantly using SMS — no login or form required.

This makes it easy to invite officials, trainers, coaches, or event staff in seconds.

How It Works

Instead of logging into the system to add staff, you can simply send a text message.

Tourney Direct will:

  1. Create the staff contact

  2. Associate them with your organization

  3. Send them an invitation to register

  4. Guide them through completing their profile

How to Add Staff by Text

Send a text to your Tourney Direct number using the format below.

Example

 
"Add Rhonda 4435551212"
 

You can also use an email address.

 
"Add Rhonda rhonda@email.com"
 

What Happens Next

After sending the text:

  1. Tourney Direct creates the staff contact.

  2. The staff member receives an invitation to register.

  3. They complete their account setup.

  4. Once registered, they can submit availability and receive assignments.

You will receive a confirmation message:

 
Rhonda added. Invite sent.
 

Adding Multiple Staff at Once

You can add multiple people in a single text.

Example:

 
Add Rhonda 4435551212
Add Mike 4435553434
Add Sarah sarah@email.com
 

Each person will receive their own invitation.

Important Tips

✔ Always include a phone number OR an email
✔ Phone numbers are recommended so staff can receive text notifications
✔ Staff will complete the rest of their information during registration

Why This Feature Exists

Event operators often need to add staff quickly — sometimes during a game or tournament.

Instead of:

  • logging in

  • navigating forms

  • sending manual emails

you can simply send a text message and keep moving.
