SMS reminders for groomers — tied to your real schedule

Manual reminders steal time at the table, and clients still forget — leaving empty slots on the schedule.

BarkPlanner sends SMS before visits, links them to the calendar and visit status, and when someone cancels, waitlist helps fill the open slot quickly.

FAQ

Are SMS reminders linked to the calendar and visit status?

Yes — each reminder is attached to a specific calendar visit. You see delivery status and client response next to the slot, dog and notes.

What happens to an open slot when a client cancels?

You can reschedule quickly and use waitlist — people waiting for a slot get a chance to fill the gap without calling everyone.

Can clients confirm a visit with one tap?

Yes — SMS can include a confirmation link. You see confirmed status on the visit in the panel.

Do I have to write every reminder manually?

No — set templates and salon rules; BarkPlanner sends SMS automatically before visits according to each appointment's settings.
