What Email and Text messages does ScheduleAnyone Send?

Overview of Emails & Text Messages Sent by ScheduleAnyone

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?

Each staff can enable in-app notifications for appointment create/update/delete alerts, client sign-in alerts, and appointment check-in alerts

Open the ScheduleAnyone app on the staff members phone
Go to Profile ➜ Me
Press the "My Alerts" button
In the popup, move the App Notifications on this device toggle to the right until it is blue

Not Receiving In-App Notifications?

First verify that Do Not Disturb is Not turned on - if Do Not Disturb is turned on then turning off Do Not Disturb should fix the problem

If you stop receiving in-app notifications you might need re-enable in-app notifications due to new software update, restoring factory settings, logging into phone with new Apple Id or Google Id, etc..

To fix this issue turn off notifications in

the ScheduleAnyone app (under your profile) ➜
And in your phone's settings, disable notifications for the ScheduleAnyone app ➜
Then in your phone's settings, re-enable notifications for the ScheduleAnyone app
And in the ScheduleAnyone app (under your profile) re-enable notifications

ScheduleAnyone has everything you need to optimize checking out clients

To customize your P.O.S. go to Profile → Advanced

How does storing cards-on-file work?

When processing a credit card you have the option to store the card on file

If a staff member marks a card to be stored online the client receives an email or text confirmation that their card was successfully stored on file at your business

This token only works with your merchant account, even if somehow someone found this token it could only be used at your business

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 Track Products My Staff Use?

Gold Package Only

Do you buy products that you and your staff use, but are not sold to clients?

Keep track of these products' cost and count with usage invoices:

Create Products with the setting for Internal Use
Create Order for these products and include the cost (this updates the product count and cost)
As these products are used Create Product Usage Invoices so you can record the used product cost and count
- You might want to create a generic client like "Internal Usage" for these invoices

Setup Staff Product Price Discount

Gold Package Only

In the Product List header section press Edit then select Staff Setup to Setup Product Discounts for Staff

You can set staff product prices to be a fixed dollar amount over cost (like $2 above cost), a percent above cost (like 10% above cost), or a percent below the regular price

Assign Staff Product Commission

ScheduleAnyone can automatically calculate product sales commission for staff

If a product is added to an appointment with only 1 staff performing the services - then that staff is automatically assigned the commission

On product only tickets select the staff who should receive the product commission

You can also click on the product name on the ticket to open the Assign Commission Popup where you can assign the product commission for each product separately (helpful if you have multiple products and want to assign product commission to different staff)

Verify Correct Product Stock Amounts

Gold Package Only

We suggest also performing Product Audits on a regular basis to verify accurate stock amounts

This way you will catch any missing order, missing or incorrect product sale, or another inventory related issue
