How It Works
Set up your SMS Notifications integration in just a few minutes.
Enable SMS
Activate SMS notifications in your SchedulingKit settings. This typically takes under a minute and uses secure OAuth so your credentials are never shared directly.
Customize Messages
Create templates with personalization variables like name and time. Tailor the integration to your specific workflow — most users find the defaults work well out of the box.
Set Timing
Configure when reminders are sent (24 hours, 1 hour before, etc.). You control exactly which parts of your scheduling connect to SMS Notifications.
Automatic Delivery
SMS reminders are sent automatically for every booking. Once active, the integration runs in the background with no ongoing maintenance required.

Two-Way Messaging
SchedulingKit enables two-way SMS conversations between your clients and staff. Clients can reply to appointment confirmations and reminders, and staff respond from a shared inbox in SchedulingKit. All messages are logged against the booking record for full conversation history.
Read guideNo-Show Prevention
SchedulingKit sends a sequence of timed SMS reminders before each appointment to minimize no-shows. Configure up to four touchpoints — at booking, 48 hours, 24 hours, and 2 hours before — with escalating urgency. Clients can confirm or cancel via reply, keeping your schedule accurate.
Read guideReview Requests
SchedulingKit sends a timed SMS after each completed appointment asking clients to leave a review. Include a direct link to your Google Business, Yelp, or Facebook review page. Timed delivery at 1-2 hours post-appointment catches clients while the experience is fresh.
