Who it's for: You offer guests both email and text, and want one of them selected first.

What it does: When both are enabled, guests see one option already selected on the sharing screen. Choosing the right one for your crowd saves a tap and reduces mistakes at busy moments.

Steps

  1. Open your event and click the Flow tab.

  2. Open the Share Output stage.

  3. Make sure both Email and SMS are enabled.

  4. Set Default sharing option to Email or SMS.

  5. Save the event.

Note - This applies to the in-booth sharing screen and the standalone Sharing Station.

Tip - Pick SMS for US events, where most guests prefer texting. Pick email at venues with weak signal — an email sends as soon as the guest's phone reconnects.

Note - Guests can still switch to the other option.

Customize country codes for SMS

Who it's for: Your guests are all from one country, or a known handful, and you want the phone number field to reflect that.

What it does: Limits the country menu guests see when entering their number, so nobody scrolls a global list or picks the wrong code.

Steps

  1. Open your event and click the Flow tab.

  2. Open the Share Output stage and find SMS settings.

  3. Switch on Limit country codes.

  4. Use Add country to build your Allowed countries list. Search country helps you find one.

  5. Save the event.

Note - If you allow a single country, it is pre-selected automatically — you do not need to set a default as well.

Note - To set a starting country without restricting the list, leave Limit country codes off and set Default SMS country code instead. It is added to numbers guests type without a code.

Important - Guests whose country is not on your list cannot enter a number at all. If there is any chance of international guests, either add their countries or leave the limit off.

Tip - For a US-only event, allowing just United States (+1) removes the country menu as a source of mistakes entirely.

Customize or remove email domain suggestions

Who it's for: Corporate events where most guests share a company domain, or events where the standard suggestions are just noise.

What it does: As guests type their email address, Pictor suggests a domain to finish it. By default it suggests gmail.com, yahoo.com, icloud.com and hotmail.com.

Steps

  1. Open your event and click the Flow tab.

  2. Open the Share Output stage and find Email settings.

  3. Switch on Customize email suggestions.

  4. Use Add domain to build your Email suggestion domains list.

  5. Save the event.

Important - Your list replaces the four built-in suggestions rather than adding to them. For a corporate event with outside guests, add the company domain and the common ones you still want.

Note - An empty list turns suggestions off completely.

Tip - At a single-company event, one domain is faster for everyone. At a mixed event, replacing the defaults with only the company domain will slow down every guest who is not staff.
