Schedulista sends automated confirmation emails and reminder emails prior to appointments to provide them information about their upcoming appointment, as well as remind them of the appointment so they don't miss it.
We also offer automated follow-up emails that can be sent after an appointment for a specific service has been completed.

Notes on links and formatting text
You can use limited HTML markup to add links or style the text in the custom message.

When you paste a URL (ex. https://www.schedulista.com) into the custom message field and save, it will automatically convert to a link on the summary page and in the emails. You can also use the HTML anchor tags (<a>) to hyperlink words. (e.g., <a href="https://www.schedulista.com">Click here</a> = Click here)
Text formatting (more info)
To format your text, the following markup is available: Bold (<b>), Strong Importance (<strong>), Italicize (<i>), Emphasize (<em>), Underline (<u>), Strikethrough (<s>)
