It is automatic notifications sent to the employee just after booking is created. Two types of notifications are configured: about an online booking and about a booking created via appointment calendar.

Online booking: as soon as the client makes a booking via online booking widget, a message with the details of the visit will be sent to the employee who is selected to provide the service to the client.

Booking created via appointment calendar: as soon as a booking is created via appointment calendar by administrator, a notification with the details of the visit will be sent to the employee who is selected to provide the service to the client.

It is used to inform employees about changes in their bookings in time.

• %CLIENT_PHONE% — phone number of the client
• %MASTER_NAME% — employee’s name.
• %DATETIME% — date and time of the appointment.
• %DATETIME_SHORT% – date and time in a short sms-friendly format.
