SMS Notifications
Learn how to activate SMS notifications, set up automatic reminders and track SMS message usage.
Requirements
Before activating SMS notifications, you need:
- Solo or Premium Plan - SMS notifications are only available for Solo and Premium plans
- Active SMS Plan - you must have an active subscription for SMS services so we can automatically send you monthly billing for sent SMS messages.
Activating SMS Notifications
- Go to the Business Settings section in the main menu
- Select the SMS Notifications tab
- Click Activate SMS Notifications
- You will be redirected to the payment gateway, where you'll enter your credit card details.
- After completion, you'll be redirected back to Meety
SMS Notification Pricing
Review the current SMS plan price and currency in checkout before confirming activation. Messages are billed monthly based on usage.
Successful submission to the SMS gateway does not establish delivery or reading. Billing follows the activated SMS plan terms; do not assume that a later delivery failure automatically refunds the charge.
Setting Up SMS Notifications
After activating the subscription, you can set when SMS messages should be sent.
- Go to the Marketing > Communication section
- In the notifications list, you can select which events should trigger an SMS message. For example, if you want to send a reminder 24 hours before an appointment, find the First reminder card and click Edit
- Enable the Send SMS Message option
- In the preview, you can see how the SMS message will look (the appointment time is just an example)
Appointment reminders
Meety supports two reminders, each 1 to 168 hours before an appointment. The defaults are 24 hours and 1 hour. Choose email, SMS or both channels for each reminder.
The automatic SMS reminder uses fixed text. It contains the business name, appointment time and a contact phone number if configured. It has no rescheduling link; booking-management links are in the reminder email. Available changes depend on your rules. Custom SMS text belongs to marketing campaigns, which are separate from appointment reminders.
Usage Tracking
In the Settings > SMS Notifications section, you can see:
- Total Sent - total number of SMS messages sent
- Last 30 Days - number of SMS messages sent in the last 30 days
This information helps you track usage and costs.
Deactivating SMS Notifications
If you want to stop sending SMS notifications, simply turn them off in the Marketing > Communication section for each event where you enabled them.
