GoReminders lets you remind your customers with any text or appointment information that they could possibly need, this way they will always show up on time and prepared. You can edit your Message Templates on the Reminder Settings page. On this page, you can add any text that you need to both the SMS and email Message Templates, and add tags to your templates to dynamically insert Customer or Appointment information. For example, the Template Tag {{First Name}} will become Jane when sending a reminder to Jane Smith.
Template Tags
Template tags are "markers" that hold places for values within a message template. For instance, when sending a reminder, you can include the start date and time by inserting these markers into your template. When the reminder is sent, the system automatically replaces the markers with the correct start date and end time. In reminders, template tags always start with {{ and end with }}.
You can find available tags by clicking the Template Tag button within the Message Template field. Also, here is an example of a Message Template with Template Tags:
When the reminder is sent, it will look more like this:
*Notice that all the markers have been replaced with the appropriate values.
