Automated customer communications in BlazeRoutes

A template for every moment in a job

There's a template for each moment that actually happens in a job: Appointment Reminder, Appointment Arriving Soon, Service Summary, Appointment Rescheduled, Appointment Skipped, Invoice, Payment Receipt, Past Due Notice, Payment Method Expiring, Portal Link, Welcome / Signature Request, Signed Service Agreement, Service Canceled, and Text Message Consent. Write each one once, in your own voice, and stop retyping it.

Sent on their own, or sent when you say

Some messages go out the moment something happens: the receipt when a payment lands, the notice when a visit is rescheduled, skipped, or canceled. Others you send to a list when you're ready — a day's appointment reminders from the calendar, a Past Due Notice to everyone who owes, or a Custom Email to a day's routes or a tag. Nothing goes out to a whole list that you didn't mean to send.

Email and text are separate decisions

Email and text are separate switches on most templates, so you decide per message which channel it goes out on — reminders by text because people read them, receipts by email because people keep them. Turn either off and that message simply doesn't send on that channel.

Automated Communications questions

Can I turn individual messages off?

Most templates have independent switches for email and for text. Turn off the ones you don't want and they stop sending — there's no all-or-nothing setting.

What does text messaging cost?

Email is included. Text messaging is $5/month plus $0.03 per message sent, and calls forwarded from your texting number count as 3 messages. It's the only optional charge on the platform.

How is text-message consent handled?

Consent is captured and recorded on the customer record before anyone texts them, and the Text Message Consent template welcomes them once they opt in. Customers who haven't consented don't get texted.

Do reminders send automatically?

Not on a timer. Receipts and the rescheduled, skipped, and canceled notices send themselves. Reminders and past-due notices go out when you send them — to a whole day's customers from the calendar, or any list from Communications — so you're always in control of what a customer receives.

Can I write the messages myself?

Yes. Each template is yours to write — subject and body for email, message text for SMS — with placeholders that fill in the customer's name, appointment time, balance, and other details as it sends.
