Automated messages allow you to notify clients of important details concerning their bookings and purchases with your business. We have dozens of configurable automated email & text messages to engage customers which range from booking notifications, appointment and class reminders, appointment and class confirmations, appointment review requests, rebooking reminders, package and membership purchase notifications, etc. All templates are classified as transactional or marketing.
Things to know:
1. Transactional Automated Messages are those that are sent automatically to clients who have the Transactional Email or Transactional SMS options checked on their client profile. 
2. Marketing Automated Messages are those that are sent automatically to clients who have the Marketing Email or Marketing SMS options checked on their client profile.
- Single Opt-In - When the Client Marketing SMS Opt-In template is not activated, as long as clients have Marketing SMS options checked on their profile, they will receive the SMS notifications under Marketing.
- Double Opt-In - When the Client Marketing SMS Opt-In template is activated, when the client is created with the Marketing SMS checkbox checked on their client profile, a text message will be sent asking the client to confirm that they want to receive SMS marketing.
- Clients won't receive any Marketing Automated Messages SMS until they reply YES to the confirmation SMS.
- If the client responds with STOP to any text message from you, they will be unsubscribed from SMS Marketing.
- If the client’s information is edited, the phone number is changed, or the Marketing SMS checkbox is unchecked at any time, then the confirmation process must be started again.
