Can reminders repeat automatically?

Yes. Recurring texts let you set a grooming or vaccine reminder once and have it send on your schedule — every 6 weeks, every season, or any interval.

Can I use the pet’s name in messages?

Yes. Merge tags like {pet} and {first_name} personalize every text, so reminders feel friendly and specific.

Can customers reply to confirm or reschedule?

Yes. Two-way messaging lets pet parents confirm, reschedule, or ask a question right from the text.

Does it work with my booking software?

Yes — connect TextSpot to hundreds of tools through Zapier to trigger reminders automatically.
