How Impulse works
Guests sign up in about 30 seconds. Photographers shoot your event. Each guest gets their photos by text within a minute. Here is the whole thing, step by step.
No app to download.
Watch it happen
A guest signs up, a photographer takes the shot, and the photo arrives on their phone.
The signup process
Signing up takes about 30 seconds
Open the link
Guests scan a QR code at the event or tap a link sent beforehand. It opens in the browser. Nothing to install.
Enter a phone number
Guests type their number and pick where they want their photos: SMS or WhatsApp.
Take a selfie
The selfie is how we find each guest in the event photos. One quick photo and they are done.
Need more than a phone number? Extra fields like name, email, or a photo waiver fit inside the same flow, so you collect exactly what your event needs.
Complete this quick sign up to make the most of this event and never miss a photo.
Welcome to the Summer Gala! We'll capture your best moments tonight and send them here as they are taken.
Your gallery is live. Every new photo of you lands here as the night goes on: gallery.impul.co
Photo delivery
From camera to phone in under a minute
Photographers shoot
Your photographers work the way they always do. Photos upload as they shoot, or after the event.
Each photo finds its guests
Every photo is compared against the signup selfies. Guests are only sent photos they actually appear in.
Photos arrive by text
Each guest gets their photos over SMS or WhatsApp, usually within 60 seconds of the shot.
Because photos arrive while guests are still at the event, they get posted while the moment is still happening, not weeks later.
The same thread carries live updates and follow-ups. See how event text messaging by SMS and WhatsApp works.
The gallery
Every guest gets a personal gallery
Texts are great for the moment, but photos also collect in a personal web gallery. Guests can browse everything taken of them, download full-resolution files, and share the photos.
The gallery carries your event branding and stays online after the event ends, so photos keep getting viewed and shared.
Your picture will appear in this gallery as they are taken.
The details, in plain terms
No app
Everything happens in the browser and over text messages. Guests never download anything.
Only their photos
Guests receive the photos they appear in, not a feed of the whole event.
Under 60 seconds
Typical time from the camera shutter to the photo landing on a guest’s phone.
More than photos
Send guests messages beyond photos: event updates, wayfinding, and post-event follow-ups.
Consent built in
Photo waivers and marketing opt-ins are signed inside the same signup flow.
Opt out anytime
Guests can stop messages with a single reply, at any point.
