In today’s fast-paced world, keeping track of appointments is crucial for professional success. Utilizing Google Calendar combined with SMS reminders can streamline your scheduling and improve client communication. This technical tutorial will guide you step-by-step on how to connect Google Calendar to automate your SMS reminders.
To get started, you need to sign up for our SMS reminder service. Visit the API & Developer Docs to create your account.
Once you have your account set up:
1. Log into your dashboard.
2. Navigate to the integration settings.
3. Select Google Calendar and authorize access. Make sure you grant permissions for reading events.
Now it’s time to configure how and when you want your SMS reminders sent:
1. Choose the events for which you’d like reminders, for example, meetings or appointments.
2. Under ‘Reminder Settings,’ select how many days in advance you want your alerts. Options are available for reminders to send 1 to 4 days ahead.
3. Write your customized SMS message using dynamic keywords like **[event_date]**, **[event_start]**, **[event_end]**, and **[location]**.
Here’s an example:
“Hi! This is just a reminder for your appointment on **[event_date]** at **[event_start]**. The meeting will take place at **[location]** and is expected to end by **[event_end]**.”
After setting up your reminders, it’s essential to test them. Go ahead and schedule a mock event in your Google Calendar. You should receive an SMS at the specified time. This quick check ensures everything is functioning correctly.
This automation is not only fully secure, as 100% Private & Secure, but it allows for seamless communication with clients. Replies go directly to your phone, like any regular SMS, and you only pay standard SMS fees through your mobile plan.
