SMS Generic and Customised Automation Reminders

 

Are no-shows affecting your business?  Do you end up calling customers and have to remind them, every time they book an appointment? 




icomplete SMS Automation is a great way to manage online appointment scheduling system which helps you minimize no-shows, book more appointments and get more business done.  


Set up Generic Automated SMS Reminders.


This type of reminder is popular when you are simply notifying, confirming or reminding a client of a service, maintenance or appointment reminder. Here is a typical example of a generic SMS i.e.

 

Hi there, just to let you know the engineer is on his way and will be with you shortly from the Stay Warm Heating Team.

 

Easy to set up let us know the message and for £25 + vat we will set this up to automatically send a text based on date stamp and time rule you set.

 

Customised Automated SMS Reminders:

SMS reminders can be personalised.  Set the date you want the SMS to go out inside a contact record and we will do the rest so it goes out automatically.

1. Can I pull client name, engineers name and time into an SMS appointment reminder automatically?

2. Yes, we can set up data fields to personalise or pull out customer or client name i.e. name of the engineer, therapist calendar who will be doing the treatment and the time so you do not need to worry.

Example of customised SMS reminder can have data fields inserted see square bracket information below which gets pulled in from custom fields row inside a contact.
