  6. You will be taken to the Appointment Notifications screen, choose which message types you would like your clients to receive by toggling between tabs. Notice that text confirmations and cancellations are off by default. Simply move the slider to On if you wish to turn it on for any message type.

  7. Clicking On for the Confirmation will add a "reply C to confirm" at the end of your reminder. Your client may respond C back to you and you will see this appointment confirmed on your appointment book.

  8. Clicking On for the Cancellations will add a "reply X to cancel" at the end of your reminder.

    • It's recommended to turn on the notifications for employees when an appointment is cancelled as that will allow them to be notified if a client responds with X to cancel.
