Before you ask

Can I change what the reminders say?

Yes. Edit the wording of each message and preview it before saving.

Text or email?

Either, or both. You choose per reminder.

Can clients reply?

Yes. Replies land in your shared text inbox, next to the client’s upcoming visit.

Is there a limit on texts?

No caps and no overage fees. Texts fall under a fair-use policy built for real grooming shops, not bulk marketing.
