About Employee Immediate Notifications

Employee immediate notification options can be found on the Employee Appointments tab. 

  • Appointment Confirmed: Sent immediately after an appointment is confirmed by the client via email or text. If a client confirms a notification that was manually sent in Confirmation Manager, the employee will not receive a confirmed notification.
  • Appointment Booked: Sent to the employee when a service is booked for a new appointment. Appointment Booked notifications are sent 5 minutes after the appointment is created.
  • Appointment Edited: Sent if any of the following occur to a booked appointment: the date is changed, the Start Time of the appointment's first service is changed, at least one service is removed and at least one service remains, at least one service is added, at least one service name is changed since the initial booking of the appointment, or at least one employee is changed. Appointment Edited notifications are sent 3 minutes after the most recently saved change.
  • Appointment Cancelled: Sent immediately after all of a client's services for that day are removed (deleted) from the Appointment Book.
  • Appointment Reschedule Requested: Sent immediately after a client requests to reschedule an appointment via a confirmation notification.
  • Appointment Running Late: Sends a notification to the servicing employee if their appointment is marked Running Late in the Smart Assistant.
  • Appointment Checked In: Sends a notification to the servicing employee if their appointment is marked Checked In in the Smart Assistant.
