Unlock a More Efficient Booking System

Let’s dive deeper into the features that will fundamentally change how you manage appointments.

Automated Appointment Reminders: Your Secret Weapon Against No-Shows

The single most costly problem for any service-based business is a client who doesn’t show up. An automated SMS reminder is the most effective way to prevent this. Our addon lets you set up reminders that are sent automatically before a scheduled appointment.

You have complete control over the timing. Send a reminder 24 hours, 4 hours, or 1 hour before the booking—whatever works best for your business model. This simple, automated action keeps your schedule full and your clients informed, directly boosting your bottom line.

Total Control with Customizable SMS Templates

Generic messages feel impersonal and can be confusing. The BulkGate for LatePoint addon empowers you to create unique SMS templates for every type of notification. You can craft the perfect message for a new booking, an approval, or a reminder.

Using intuitive placeholders, you can dynamically insert critical information into each message:

• {customer_full_name} – Personalize the greeting.
• {start_date} – State the appointment date clearly.
• {start_time} – Confirm the exact time.
• {agent_full_name} – Let them know who they’ll be meeting.
• {service_name} – Remind them of the service they booked.

This level of customization ensures your communication is always clear, professional, and on-brand.

Global Reach with Seamless BulkGate Integration

This addon isn’t a standalone SMS system; it’s a bridge to the professional-grade BulkGate SMS gateway. This is a significant advantage. BulkGate offers competitive pricing, excellent deliverability across the globe, and advanced features you can manage from one central dashboard.

Connecting is as simple as entering your Application ID and Token from your free BulkGate account. You gain access to a reliable infrastructure built for scale.
