We have compiled a library of appointment reminder templates you may wish to use while setting up your reminders. A sample message appears just above the actual template. Copy and paste the text, complete with variables, into your reminder template and make any minor changes that will help you customize the appointment reminder for your situation.
While most of the templates below were written for SMS reminders, they can be easily adapted for email reminders or in some cases, voice call reminders. Learn more about setting up email reminder templates here, and voice reminder templates here.
