How Bookmark Calendar in Web Browser?
Simply go to https://www.ScheduleAnyone.com/provider/calendar and add the bookmark.
When are Text Messages sent (will I get a text message at 2:00 am?)
Text messages are only sent from 9:00 am - 9:00 pm or during normal business hours (if your normal business hours start before 9:00 am or end after 9:00 pm).
If a text message is scheduled to be sent between 5:00 pm and midnight it is sent at 5:00 pm. If a text message is scheduled to be sent between midnight and 9:00 am it is sent at 9:00 am. For example, if text message is scheduled to be sent at 6:00 am, then it will be sent at 9:00 am. How could that happen? If you have configured text message reminders to your clients 4 hours before the appointment time; then, if you have an appointment at 10:00 am, the text message reminder would be scheduled to be sent at 6:00 am, but instead it will be sent at 9:00 am.
When are Client Confirmation Emails Sent?
Confirmation emails are sent to clients when a new appointment is created or moved to a different date or the special request field is changed.
Confirmations are sent to clients on a 10 minute delay if the change was made by a staff member. Often multiple updates are made 2-3 minutes and this avoids spamming clients with multiple confirmation messages.
When are Staff Appointment Alerts Sent?
Alert email and text messages are sent to staff when a new appointment is created or moved to a different date or the special request field is changed.
Alerts are sent on a 10 minute delay, this is because often multiple updates are made within 2-3 minutes and this avoids sending multiple messages. The only exception to this is if the changed appointment occurs within an hour then the text message alert is sent immediately.
Alerts are not sent to a staff member when they update their own appointment because they should know about that update.
Customize Messages Sent Clients?
You can customize your emails to clients at: https://www.ScheduleAnyone.com/provider/webtemplate/email

How Add Service or Change Services I Offer?
In your profile click on My Services . This will list all the services offered by the business. You can select what services you offer. If you leave the price and minutes blank it will use the business’ defaults.
So if, by default, the business lists a finish out or processing time for a service but you do not have one just enter “0” (zero). For example, if the default (for the entire business) is to have a 30 minute finish out and you don't do a finish out; then set the finish out time to "0" minutes.
Add, Edit, or Remove Discount?
On the Manage Discount page you can create discounts that should always apply based on different rules or can optionally be applied. Discounts are either a dollar amount or a percentage of the matching purchased products/services.
Discounts can only apply during a certain date range (or leave the date range empty if you want the discount to never expire). Discounts can also be set to apply only when a minimum purchase amount is reached.
Discounts can also be applied based on a specific combination of products and/or services (such as when a client: does both a manicure and pedicure; gets a massage and buys a product; buys a certain combination of products; etc.).
Track Client Referrals?
On the Manage Referrals page you can add, edit, and remove different types of referrals. You can even have the system automatically apply a discount to the client’s first purchase.
Enter an expiration date if you want the referral to expire (for example: a few weeks after an advertising campaign ends) otherwise just leave that field blank.
You can enter the referral when you create a client (When you create a new client with a referral, that referral is automatically added to their first appointment)
Or you can go to the client’s profile and set how they were originally referred to you:
Or you can set a client’s referral for a specific appointment from the edit appointment box by clicking on the staff note icon and selecting the referral from the drop down. This is useful if you have an existing client who you may not have seen for a while return based on an advertisement or because of a coupon.
