Email Notification

Notice: Email Notification is supported in Personal, Business and Business+ editions. But Appointment Cancellation and Rescheduling is only supported in Business and Business+ editions.

NOTE: If your web hosting plan does not support sending emails,  you need to download a SMTP Service plugin first. There are plenty of them in the WordPress Plugins Repository.

Under ‘Notifications’, you can enable email notification to service providers and clients, so both your service providers and customers will receive emails related to appointments. Make sure you input the email address of the service providers in service provider page.

You need to enter the ‘From Name’ and ‘From Email’.

You could specify your email templates by clicking on ‘+Edit Email Templates’. Email templates are supported in three circumstances: new appointment , appointment modified and appointment cancelled. You can use the predefined email templates or you can easily create your own.
