Clients reply with either an uppercase or lowercase C, and the software automatically processes the reply. Clients then receive a follow-up message thanking them for confirming the appointment.
🔍 See Which Appointments Are Confirmed
When a client confirms by text, the software updates the ticket and the appointment book so you can see the confirmation.
🎫 On the Ticket
The Confirmed field on the ticket automatically changes to Text Message, and a line of text shows the date the appointment was confirmed. Both are highlighted in red below.
📅 In the Appointment Book
Appointments confirmed by text message show a bell icon with a check mark, as shown below. If the reminder was sent but not confirmed, the appointment shows a bell icon without the check mark.
