Send custom emails/SMS to your clients
Updated this week

To activate this feature, contact your Booxi representative.

While your clients who book with you will receive regular communications (appointment confirmations, reminders, etc.), it may be sometimes necessary to communicate with them directly. This can be useful if ever you must quickly notify a client of a change in schedule or service, if you want to obtain information from your client, etc.
