In today’s fast-paced world, managing appointments and client communications is crucial for building strong relationships. One effective way to streamline this process is by integrating SMS reminders directly with your Google Calendar. This tutorial will guide you step-by-step on how to set this up, ensuring that you never miss reminding a client about an important appointment again.

Step-by-Step Guide to Setting Up SMS Reminders

1. Sign Up for the Service

First, visit our API & Developer Docs to create an account. This service is designed to connect with your Google Calendar effortlessly, making notifications as easy as a few clicks.

2. Connect Google Calendar

Login to your account and navigate to the dashboard. You’ll see an option to link your Google Calendar. Follow the prompts and grant the necessary permissions. This allows your notifications to sync directly with your calendar events.

3. Customize Your SMS Reminders

Next, you’ll want to personalize your SMS messages. Use dynamic keywords that will pull information from your calendar. For instance:
