17hats can automatically remind your clients about upcoming Online Scheduling bookings - taking that task off your plate and allowing you to focus on other parts of your business!

17hats allows you to automatically send an email reminder to your clients one day before an Online Scheduling booking and/or the day of an Online Scheduling booking.


HOW IT WORKS

Create your Online Scheduling Service

This article will guide you through setting up your Service if you haven't already created one.

Scroll to the last section of the Online Scheduling service, and you will see the section "Reminder Email Settings". There you can create/select email templates to automatically send one day before the booking date, and/or the day of the booking.

Select Your Email Templates

If you already have a Reminder Email template created, you can select that template from the drop-down that says “Select a Reminder Email.”

Please Note: If you created your email templates outside of Online Scheduling, only “Scheduling Type” emails will appear on that drop-down. This article explains a bit more about different email types in 17hats.

Create Your Email Templates

If you have not yet created a Reminder Email template, select the Create Reminder Email button and a pop-up window will appear for you to draft your new Reminder Email.


Pro-Tip: Use “Scheduling Tokens” in your Reminder Emails to automatically populate information like Booking Start Time!

If this is an Online Scheduling service that uses the 17hats Zoom Integration, add the token [scheduling] Location Address to automatically include the Zoom link in your Reminder Email.
