01

Configure appointment notifications

Choose 1 to 3 reminders and check the client, contact details and channel. AppSumo without White Label includes 1 reminder.

01

Open Reminders

Open My account in the top bar and select Reminders. Changing an option does not yet save settings.

Open Reminders
02

Enable appointment reminders

Tick Remind my client before the session. Unticking it turns off all pre-session reminders; the other options are configured separately.

If several reminders are already due, only the one closest to the appointment is sent; earlier ones are skipped. For example, with reminders at 72, 24 and 1 hour, an appointment booked 20 hours ahead receives the 24-hour reminder at the next check and keeps the 1-hour reminder for later. The 72-hour reminder is skipped.

Enable appointment reminders
03

Set each reminder’s lead time and channel

For each reminder, set How many hours ahead and How it is sent. Use different whole numbers from 1 to 168. The example shows 72, 24 and 1 hour ahead.

Choose Email, WhatsApp or Email and WhatsApp for each reminder. Without WhatsApp connected, only Email is available. Duplicate lead times, decimals or values outside the range prevent saving.

Three reminders with their lead times and channels.
If WhatsApp cannot be selected

Check the WhatsApp connection and reopen Reminders. Check the channel and save after changing it.

If WhatsApp cannot be selected
04

Add a second or third reminder

Click Save when finished to keep the settings.

Three reminders and the disabled Add reminder button.
If your AppSumo account does not have White Label

Your account includes 1 reminder. You can change its lead time and channel, but adding a second or third requires White Label. Clicking Add reminder shows the White Label upgrade notice.

If your AppSumo account does not have White Label
05

Remove a reminder you do not need

06

Check the client’s contact details

Check email for email delivery and phone with international prefix for WhatsApp. If WhatsApp fails and a valid email exists, email may be used as fallback.

Check the client’s contact details
If email or phone is missing

Complete the selected channel’s contact detail and save the record. No email can be sent without an address; with a phone and connected WhatsApp, WhatsApp may work. Without either detail, there is no delivery route.

If email or phone is missing
07

Check the individual appointment

In Schedule, open the appointment and check the assigned client and Remind this client before the session checkbox. Unticking it turns off every reminder for that appointment. No reminders are sent without an assigned client or for a cancelled appointment.

If you change and save the date or time, reminders are scheduled again for the new date, even if one was already sent.

Check the individual appointment
If the appointment has no assigned client

Edit the appointment, select the record and save. Check contact details and the reminder checkbox.

Enable the pre-session form
