Customize Emails Sent to Your Clients

You can customize your emails to clients at: https://www.ScheduleAnyone.com/provider/webtemplate/email

Text Client who has no Phone Company listed

Every month all emails and opt-in text messages are free, only marketing emails and texts cost extra (with the gold package the first 100 marketing texts or 500 marketing emails are free!)

Text reminders and text receipts that are NOT opt-in subtract from your available marketing emails (so the gold package includes 500 free every month)

By default, text messages are only sent if clients opt-in by providing their mobile phone company, change this setting here ➜ Client Text Message Configuration

Adding a Message Package allows you to send reminders to clients without requiring the opt-in via phone company and by default new clients opt-in to text reminders

How Change Message Package (the number of messages I can send each month)?

Every month you get free messages to send email/text blasts

These messages also count towards sending text reminders to clients who have not opted-in to text messages (by providing their phone company)

You can add more messages by going to Change Message Package

When are Text Messages sent (will I get a text message at 2 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 after 9pm and before 9am then it will be sent at 9am

For example, if text reminders are setup to be sent to clients 4 hours before the appointment time; then, if you have an appointment at 10 am, the text message reminder would be scheduled to be sent at 6 am, but instead it will be sent at 9 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 within 2-3 minutes and this avoids spamming clients with multiple confirmation messages

Managers and Admin can set when client confirmations are sent for all staff at Profile -> Advanced, clients tab Or for each staff at Reports -> Staff -> Profiles

Other staff can set when their own clients receive confirmations (except for staff with the role Read-Only and Employee who cannot change this setting) by going to Menu -> Profile

When are Client Reminders Sent?

An email reminder and text reminder can be sent to the client before each appointment

Review each reminder that has been sent and is schedule to be sent by going to Schedule -> Reminders

Managers and Admin can set when client confirmations are sent for all staff at Profile -> Advanced, clients tab Or for each staff at Reports -> Staff -> Profiles

Other staff can set when their own clients receive confirmations (except for staff with the role Read-Only and Employee who cannot change this setting) by going to Menu -> Profile

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.

Each staff can setup when they want to receive alerts by going to their own profile and press the My Alerts button

Managers, Admin, and Receptionists can view/set when each staff receives alerts by going to Reports -> Staff -> Profiles

How Setup In-App Notifications?

Admins and Managers can change any staff's username and password by going to Profile -> Staff and pressing the staff's name

Staff setup with an email can go to Forgot Password to have a new password emailed to them

Set Staff Service Fee?

In your profile go to the Service tab and click Fees & Prices.  The price column displays what the client is charged and the fee is what is subtracted from commission employees before their commission is applied.

How Change Services a Staff Offers?

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.

Services Only Staff Can See

In your profile go to the Services tab and click the 'Add Service Type' button or click on the service group that you would like to edit.

Click lock in the upper right hand corner of the edit service type popup and select 'Staff Only' then click 'Save'.  

Appointment with Manicure and Pedicure

By default, an appointment with a manicure and a pedicure will have the services start at the same time if the services are performed by different staff

These defaults can be turned off completely or over-ridden on a specific appointment by changing any service's start time on the appointment

Salon Haircut and Color Logic

By default, an appointment with hair color and haircut will remove the hair color's finish out time

Also, if a client books online and puts the haircut before the hair color - ScheduleAnyone will automatically put the hair color first

These defaults can be turned off completely or over-ridden on a specific appointment by changing any service's start time on the appointment

Barber Haircut Logic

By default, when there are 2 or more barber haircuts on the same appointment the haircuts will occur at the same time if the staff are different

This is useful when a father books their own haircut and their son's haircut

These defaults can be turned off completely or over-ridden on a specific appointment by changing any service's start time on the appointment

Appointment with back to back massages

By default, when an appointment has back to back massages then any finish out time on the first service will be removed

For example, like adding extra minutes to a regular massage service

These defaults can be turned off completely or over-ridden on a specific appointment by changing any service's start time on the appointment

How Can I view My Service Categories

You do not need to do anything, service categories are automatically set when you setup your services

Service categories improve the information we provide to Googlebot, Facebook, and other companies to improve your websites Search Engine Optimization

Service categories help to automatically correctly set the service times for your appointments with multiple services, for example appointments with a

• Haircut + Color
• Manicure + Pedicure
• Father & Son Haircut
• Back to Back Massages for same client

99% of the time it is best to not adjust these defaults, but as always ScheduleAnyone gives you full visibility to how your appointments are being booked
