Coming soon

Coming soon. Text reminders are planned for MeetScarlet Pro and are not sending yet.

What will be sent by text

  • Reminders before an appointment, at the two times you set in Settings, from 1 to 72 hours before, or off
  • A text when an appointment is confirmed, moved or cancelled
  • A text when a spot opens for a client on a class waitlist, or when a class they booked is cancelled

Your studio's own number

We will set up a texting number for your studio and register it with the phone carriers, which can take a few days. The Text messages card in Settings will show the number and where the registration stands. When clients reply to a text, the reply will show up in your Messages, next to their in-app messages.

When it is not the right fit

  • You are on the MeetScarlet plan. Text reminders will be part of MeetScarlet Pro.
  • You want to send marketing texts or promotions. MeetScarlet's texts will be reminders and booking notices, not campaigns.
  • You want reminders for classes. Text reminders will be for appointments; class clients will get a text when a waitlist spot opens or a class is cancelled.

See how it's set up

The step-by-step guide your team would follow, on MeetScarlet Help: Booking emails, email delivery and texts.

The Booking emails card: a language picker set to English, then each email (Booking confirmed, Request received, Booking moved, Booking cancelled, Reminder, After the visit and more) marked Default with an Edit button, and the Text messages card below it.
