- Elvis Merino (Unlicensed)
This text message sends to a client when a time that they joined the waitlist for frees up and is available for booking. This is an automated, to disable it go to Settings → Waitlist → Send Waitlist Registrants Text Notifications. If this boxed is checked, when a time becomes available that a client waitlisted for, then if they checked off that they want to receive a text message notification they'll get invited to take the available time via text message.

In editing this template, here are some general things to consider:
- The situation: This template is generated when a time that the client joined the waitlist for frees up and is available for booking. When joining the waitlist your client must check the box "Send me a text reminder" and enter their mobile phone number in order to receive this notification when a time slot becomes available. If you wish to add a client to the waitlist in the backoffice and would like them to receive this notification when a time slot becomes available, you must go to that client's profile and check the box next to "Waitlist text message", if this box is not checked the client will not receive a text notification even if they have been added to the waitlist. When editing this template keep in mind that you're limited to 160 characters.
- Template elements: As with all the appointment templates sent from you account, this email will have the email header and the staff signature in the footer. We recommend putting standard contact information in the staff signature section and to customize your header under your messaging settings to be what you'd like for all of your emails (helps to keep them cohesive).
