Player Registration & WhatsApp Automation

Custom forms, WhatsApp notifications, AI payment verification. A CricSmart exclusive — no other platform has this.

Automated Player Registration with WhatsApp

CricSmart's registration and WhatsApp automation is a game-changer — and a CricSmart exclusive. No other cricket auction platform integrates WhatsApp with player registration. This step transforms what used to be weeks of manual follow-up into a fully automated pipeline.

Custom Registration Form Builder

Build a custom registration form with the fields you need. Default fields include name, role, phone number, and photo. Add custom fields: batting style, bowling style, jersey number, base price, CricHeroes profile link — anything you want to collect from players.

The form is hosted on a public link that you share via WhatsApp, email, or social media. Players fill it out themselves — no manual data entry by the organizer. Submitted data flows directly into your player pool, pending approval.

WhatsApp Notification Lifecycle

Once a player registers, the WhatsApp automation kicks in automatically:

  1. Player confirmation: Player receives an instant WhatsApp message confirming their registration was received
  2. Organizer alert: You (the organizer) get a WhatsApp notification about the new registration
  3. Approval/rejection notification: When you approve or reject the player, they get an instant WhatsApp message with the result

This means zero manual follow-up. Players know their status in real-time, and you don't have to call or message anyone individually.

Registration Payment Tracking

If your league charges a registration fee, CricSmart tracks payments within the platform. Players upload their UPI payment screenshot after paying, and Google Gemini AI automatically verifies the amount and sender. You get a verification result without manually checking each screenshot.

This is end-to-end automation: form → registration → WhatsApp confirmation → payment → AI verification → approval. No other platform offers this.
