Vello: Appointment messaging and communication records
Vello can automatically send messages to clients. The messages tell clients how to use Vello to read important information about their appointments.
Vello can automatically send these types of messages to clients:
- Appointment confirmation
- Appointment reminder
An appointment confirmation message tells a client to send a confirmation reply. The reply tells you that the client will do the appointment.
An appointment reminder message helps make sure that a client remembers to do an appointment.
Vello sends an appointment confirmation message three days before an appointment.
Vello sends an appointment reminder message in the same day as an appointment.
Note: If you want Vello to automatically send email, make sure that applicable client contact records have an email address. And if you want Vello to automatically send SMS messages, make sure that applicable client contact records have a mobile number.
