Deployment Notes: March 2019.

The Setmore iPad app is still being beta tested, with developments forthcoming (stay tuned). So in the meantime, this month we’re launching a few functionality improvements to address some of the rough edges around elapsed-time reminders, allowing customers to reschedule classes, uploading avatars, and a hearty handful of new bug fixes. Continue reading for details.

Instant text reminders for quick appointments

Setmore will now issue an instant text reminder for any appointment booked within your reminder lead time. This improves the previous setup where you would see “Lead Time Elapsed” on the reminder status for some appointments.

The Appointment Details window in the Setmore calendar.

For example:

If your reminder lead time is one day
But your customer books an appointment less than 24 hours in advance
Setmore will now send a text reminder to that customer.

Setmore sends the text reminder about 10-15 minutes after you or the customer books their appointment. This is so we don’t overwhelm your customer with messages ?

A phone with a text reminder on the screen.

**Note that this updated feature only applies to newly booked appointments, and not existing appointments on your calendar.

Customers can now reschedule/cancel classes

Previously, customers could not reschedule or cancel classes on their own. Now we’ve added links for rescheduling/canceling to your class confirmation emails. Customers can use these links to reschedule to a different session of the same class offering, or cancel their attendance if they’re unable to show up.

The Setmore confirmation email template.

Don’t want customers to reschedule/cancel on their own?

No problem! You can deactivate this feature in your Setmore notification settings.

Go to Settings > Notifications > Customer.

The menu flow for getting to the Customer Notification settings in Setmore.

Un-check the box next to “Send the cancel appointment/class link to the customer” to prevent customers from canceling their class attendance.
Un-check the box next to “Send the reschedule appointment/class link to the customer” to prevent customers from rescheduling to a different session.

A set of checkboxes allowing a user to activate or de-activate reschedule and cancel links in Setmore emails.

Note: These checkboxes control the presence of a Reschedule/Cancel button in the email confirmation for both regular appointments and classes.
