Introduction

In today’s fast-paced world, managing appointments efficiently is crucial for any business. Automating SMS reminders can significantly enhance customer communication, reduce no-shows, and streamline operations. This step-by-step guide will explore how to integrate your Google Calendar with our SMS reminder tool, making sure that your clients never forget an essential meeting or appointment again.

Step 1: Connect Your Google Calendar

First things first, you need to integrate your Google Calendar with our platform. Simply log into your account, navigate to the API & Developer Docs, and follow the onboarding instructions. The tool will guide you through granting necessary permissions so your calendar events can trigger automated SMS reminders.

Step 2: Create a New Reminder

Once your Google Calendar is connected, go to our How It Works page. Here, you’ll find a straightforward dashboard to schedule your SMS reminders. Select the event from your Google Calendar that you want to remind clients about.

Step 2.1: Customize Your Message

You can utilize dynamic message personalization to make your reminders feel unique. Use smart keywords like [event_date], [event_start], [event_end], and [location] to customize the message. For instance, your SMS reminder could read:

“Hi! Just a quick 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].”

Step 3: Schedule SMS Delivery

Choose when you want the reminder to be sent. You can opt for automatic SMS reminders to be dispatched 1, 2, 3, or even 4 days before the event. This level of flexibility will allow you to cater to your clients’ preferences.

Step 4: Review and Confirm

Before finalizing the reminder, review all the details. Check the recipient’s contact number and ensure that the message is accurate. Once everything looks good, hit confirm.

Step 5: Enjoy the Benefits

Now that you’ve set up automated SMS reminders, you can enjoy various benefits:

– Fully automatic, eliminating manual tasks.

– Replies go directly to your phone, just like typical SMS messages.

– Total privacy because all data stays with you and your device.
