Email Notifications

PreviousNotificationsNextSMS/Text Notifications

Last updated 10 months ago

With our appointment scheduling software you can have customizable email notifications sent out to your clients and staff for free.

To access the Email Notifications, visit the Settings > Locations > select your location > Email Notifications

From the Email Notifications tab you can set when the reminders will be sent out, the default setting is 24h before the scheduled appointment, it is important to note that if an appointment has been scheduled less than 24h an automated email reminder will not go out to the client

Customer Email Reminder

This is sent to your client if they have an email set up on their account, at any time you can change your clients preferences and enable or disable these reminders to be sent, you can customize when you want the reminder to be sent out form 24h, 48h, 1 week before the appointment is scheduled

The Customer Email Reminder also supports the [CONFIRM] tag which will automatically add a confirm button in the email buttons to allow your clients to confirm or cancel their scheduled appointment

If you need to inform the client of their scheduled appointment there is the ability to manually send an email by visiting the clients appointment and selecting it for the appointment prompt to appear, here select the Send Email button which will send out the Online Booking Email to the client

Replies: SimpleSpa actively supports responses sent from these messages, unlike other platforms that may disregard such communication, potentially resulting in complete loss of correspondence.

Staff Email Notification

When an appointment is booked your staff will receive an email notification informing them of the new booking

Online Booking Email

Once an appointment has been booked online, besides the ability to add it to their Google, Outlook or Yahoo calendar your customer will receive an email informing them of their booking
