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? 

 

CRM SMS Automation is a great way to manage online appointment scheduling system which helps you minimise 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.

 

This type of 'generic' SMS can be set up for £25 + VAT we will set this up to automatically send a text based on date stamp and time rule you set.

 

Set up Customised Automated SMS Reminders:

 

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

 

Pull in merge fields into the SMS such as a client's name, engineers name etc, day and time of an appointment or delivery

 

Please see below an example of customised SMS reminder that has data fields inserted into the SMS (please see square bracket information) which is pulled in from the custom fields row inside a contacts record:  

 

 

The SMS message would be sent out as:  

 

Dear [FIRSTNAME], Your Engineer [ENTER ENGINEERS NAME], will arrive tomorrow at [ENTER TIME SLOT ] to do an annual service of your gas boiler as arranged. Please ensure that someone will be there to give him access. Please do not reply to this text from the Staywarm Team. 

The message your customer will receive will be:


Hi John Your Engineer, Bob Myers, will arrive tomorrow at 9am to do an annual service of your gas boiler as arranged. Please ensure that someone will be there to give him access. Please do not reply to this text From the Staywarm Team.
