The User notifications section is where you set which notification scenarios will trigger email notifications and SMS notifications to be sent to you or to other Users. Examples of notification scenarios include: scheduling confirmations, event reminders, event follow-ups, cancellations, and rescheduled bookings. This section is also where you can customize the text of the notifications sent to Users.

Location of the User notifications section

The User notifications section is located if you go to Booking pages in the bar on the left → select your Booking page → User notifications.

Email and SMS notifications to Users are independent of the notifications sent to your Customers. This means that you can send notifications to Customers that contain different content and have different timing than your own notifications.

Configuring notifications

Notification scenarios are booking events that will trigger an email or SMS notification to be sent to the User. Learn more about the different User notification scenarios and when they apply

Selecting a delivery method: Email or SMS

You can send an email or SMS notification for each Notification scenario, such as the Automatic booking scenario (Figure 2).

The exception is the Calendar event scenario, which has no SMS notification option (Figure 4).

Reminders and follow-ups

You can send up to three User reminders before a meeting and a follow-up message after the meeting. You can choose to send a reminder from between 5 minutes to 30 days before the meeting time (Figure 5). You can choose to send a follow-up message from between 5 minutes to 30 days after a booking. 

By default, email and SMS notifications are unchecked for all three User reminders (Figure 4). No notifications will be sent unless you select them.

For other subscribed Users, all notification alerts are unchecked by default. 

Customizing your notifications further

If you need further customization of your email notifications and SMS notifications, you can create Custom templates in the Notification templates editor. Custom templates give you the utmost flexibility over the content, allowing you to insert images, use any text you wish, and add hyperlinks. 

The templates you create are available as choices in each scenario (Figure 5).

Setting the time for reminder and follow-up notifications

You can send up to three reminders prior to a meeting and a follow-up message after the meeting is over. Reminders can be sent up to 30 days in advance and the follow-up message can be sent up to 30 days after your meeting is over. You can choose the timing of the reminders and follow-ups by using the drop-down menus (Figure 6).

It's important to think about your schedule and when and how you would like yourself and other subscribed Users to receive reminders. Keep in mind that the User reminders are independent from Customer reminders and can be sent at different times and use different templates than the Customer reminders.
