Reminders & reviews sends text messages to clients on your behalf: a reminder before an upcoming shift so fewer are missed, and a Google review request after a completed one. Administrators and office staff set the messages and timing and see what has been sent.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Turn on No-show reminders, then switch on the 24-hour reminder, the 2-hour reminder, or both.

  2. 2

    Check what each reminder says before you rely on it. Use Insert to add {name}, {time} and {date}, which are filled in for each client.

  3. 3

    Turn on Google review requests, paste your Google review link, and set Wait after the shift (hours) to choose when it goes.

  4. 4

    Write the review Message, putting {url} where the link should go and {name} where the client's name should appear.

  5. 5

    Click Save changes. The Unsaved changes bar stays at the bottom of the page until you save or click Discard.

  6. 6

    Enter your own mobile under Send a test reminder or Send a test review request, and click Send test to see the message.

  7. 7

    Watch the counts at the top and Recent activity below. Each message shows the client, type and number, and whether it was Sent, Skipped or Failed.
