New Text Confirmations (And More!)
New “confirmation” text messages
Now your clients will immediately receive a text message reminder when their appointment gets booked! How it works: you or your client will fill in the appointment booking form as usual. But now, when the booking is completed… BOOM! A confirmation text message gets sent to the client’s mobile phone.
Nothing like that instant gratification from receiving a friendly text. Even if it IS from a robot…
As long as a mobile number is indicated on the booking, you’re all set. Previously, clients would only get text message reminders later on, closer to the appointment date.
Here’s what the new text message looks like. It will include the appointment time, service name, and your business name.
BookedIN now sends your clients three total text messages:
- Immediate confirmation
- Days prior reminder
- Hours prior reminder
Here’s more info about BookedIN’s text message reminders and how to adjust their settings.
NOTE: At this time, text messages are only available in Canada 🇨🇦 and USA 🇺🇸. Please give us a shout if you’d like us to add text support in your country.

Make a great first impression with your clients: upload your logo/photo now and try adding online booking to your Instagram.
