How to Enable SMS Consent for Clients

SMBs can find a transactional SMS consent checkbox in the platform when creating or editing a client through the Client Card.

  1. Open the platform.
  2. Click Clients.
  3. Select a client from the list.
  4. Under Contact Information, click Show more.
  5. Under Communication details, click the edit icon image.png.
  6. Check the opt-in box.
  7. Click Save.
Note: The SMS consent checkbox appears in all client creation methods to ensure consistent opt-in handling for accounts with SMS opt-in enforcement enabled.

Enable Transactional SMS

To get appointment reminders and confirmations by text, clients need to opt in to SMS messages. When booking, they’ll see a checkbox to agree to receive texts and it must be selected by them, as it can’t be checked by default. If they skip this step, they won’t receive any SMS notifications. Clients can also opt in later through your intake forms or by updating their preferences in the Client Portal.
