All about how SMS text reminders work with HoneyBook

Updated over a week ago

Send SMS reminders to your clients to streamline communication, reduce friction, and ensure fewer payments and sessions are missed.

  • When turned ON, any clients that opt in to receive SMS will receive the relevant reminders

  • When turned OFF, no SMS reminders will send

📣 Note

This feature is free while in Beta.

SMS reminders send only to your clients, they are not sent to you (the business).


Turn SMS reminders on or off

By default, SMS reminders are turned ON for your account. The client opt-in is automatically added to your contact/lead forms and session schedulers that contain a linked phone number field.

  1. From any page, click your profile photo in the top right corner of your screen > select Company Settings from the menu

  2. Scroll down to the SMS reminders section

  3. Toggle Send SMS reminders ON or OFF

Session reminders

Once you've made sure that SMS reminders are turned ON for your company, you can adjust SMS reminders for sessions.

  2. Locate a session that you’d like to adjust SMS session reminders for, then click Edit

  3. Under the Send invitee reminders section, click the reminder type dropdown > select the reminder type(s) you'd like to send

  4. Make any other adjustments to the reminders (ex: customizing the timing)

  5. Click Save and Finish
