Frequently Asked Questions
What's the best time to send appointment reminders?
Send 3 reminders: immediately on booking, 48 hours before, and morning of the appointment (8–9 AM). This is enough for most customers.
How long should confirmation texts be?
Under 160 characters for the initial confirmation if possible. Longer is fine for 48hr reminders where you include prep instructions.
Should I use SMS or email for confirmations?
Always SMS for time-sensitive confirmations. Email is fine as a backup, but 98% of SMS are read within 3 minutes vs 20% of emails.
Can I use these in ServiceHub?
Yes. Copy any template into ServiceHub's message settings and it will auto-fill the customer details for every booking.
What if the customer doesn't confirm?
If they don't confirm the 48hr reminder within 12 hours, call them proactively. Don't send a tech to an unconfirmed appointment.
