How does the SMS times window work in Jimani?
- Answer
With SMS times you send a guest a few available times by text, with a link. The guest taps a time and the reservation is made. You open the window on the Reservations screen, or from a guest's details.
- Where to find it
Reservations > button SMS times; also via the SMS icon in a guest's reservation information (
/Smstijden/Venster)- Explanation
The window has three blocks: To, When and The message. At the bottom are Previous and Send with the number of texts it costs, for example Send (1 SMS). The available times are the same as in your reservation widget. You set the text of the message under SMS (block Text for SMS times); how the link and the status work is in Can I automatically send guests a text message, for example a reminder?.
