How Reminders Are Consumed

The easiest way to think about how many reminders your message consumes is to think about text messages you might exchange with your friends or family. Each text message that’s sent will consume at least one reminder. So if you’ve got a single appointment and you are sending a reminder to 5 phone numbers that’s 5 reminders that are consumed. Similarly if you are sending more than one reminder for each appointment that’ll consume more reminders as well.Finally, you need to consider how many reminders are consumed by your reminder message. You can see how many reminders your message consumes by selecting any appointment in your calendar or Dashboard.

Example 1:
You’ve configured your account to send 2 reminders for each appointment (24 hrs before, and 1 hour before). You also want to send the reminder to two phone numbers and the reminder message consumes just one reminder.We’ll calculate the number of reminders used like this:
1 reminder consumed per message x 2 reminder messages x 2 phone numbers = 4 reminders consumed.Example 2:
You’ve configured your account to send 1 reminder for each appointment. You also want to send the reminder to three phone numbers and the reminder message consumes two reminders.We’ll calculate the number of reminders used like this:
2 reminders consumed per message x 1 reminder messages x 3 phone numbers = 6 reminders consumed.

How Many Characters Are in a Text Message?

The short answer is ‘it’s complicated’. Most of the time a single text message is up to 160 characters long, but in some cases it’s only 70 characters long. The limit is determined by the type of characters used in the message. You get all 160 characters if the message is in GSM-7, format however if the message includes one or more Unicode characters such as emoji, chinese, or some accented characters the message needs to be sent in USC-2 format and the limit is then 70 characters.You may be thinking, “I get text messages longer than 160 characters all the time.” You’re right. Modern phones and mobile phone networks support concatenation which allows longer messages to be sent, then appear on the recipient's phone as if it were a single message. These longer messages are sent in segments, then re-assembled into a single message on your phone. Think back to a few years ago when you’d receive a single message from someone spread over several texts. Usually received all in rapid succession. That was before concatenation.

One Segment = One Reminder

We calculate the number of reminders consumed by your message such that it matches the number of segments required to send the message. We do this because it matches how our service provider charges us. Even though your message may be 160 characters or less, it may consume more than one reminder to send it.We’ve included a calculator on our web application that lets you see exactly how many reminders your message will consume as you type your message. You can also see how many reminders your message will consume in the add-on by clicking an appointment in your calendar after the reminder message has been saved. We can’t calculate the reminders consumed in real-time in the add-on, but we do calculate it after the message is saved.

Dynamic Data

The final calculation for the number of reminders consumed by your message will be determined by any dynamic data that’s inserted into your message:

Note: If you include a URL in your message this will consume a lot of characters.The calculator in your account settings will estimate the number of reminders consumed, but the actual number may differ for each individual reminder, depending on the data that’s inserted into the message. Open the appointment in the app to check the exact number of reminders that will be consumed when the reminder is sent.

Appointment Confirmations

If you’ve got Appointment Confirmations enabled for your reminders, we’ll include the message that’s appended to your reminder in the character count limit. The calculator will automatically take this into account when calculating the number of characters you can type and the number of reminders that you will consume.The message that’s appended to each reminder is: Confirm or cancel: https://www.smsreminder.co/confirmation/ZwhFHBRK2wq9sM6KGME_M and consumes 81 characters.

Insert Data From Your Calendar

Customize Date & Time Settings

SMS Reminder inserts the Date & Time based on the settings in your Google Calendar. So if you want to change the formatting from DD/MM/YYYY to MM/DD/YYY or YYYY-MM-DD you can do that. You can also change the time format to 1:00pm or 13:00.It's important that your calendar is set to the time zone where your customers will be receiving the reminders. The app inserts the time for appointments and uses the time zone from your calendar's settings to determine the correct time. If you're using multiple calendars in your account, make sure those calendars are set to the correct time zone too as those can be configured individually.

Appointment Confirmations

Sometimes sending a reminder isn't enough for customers to remember their appointments. With the Appointment Confirmations feature, you can ask customers to confirm or cancel their appointment and we'll update your calendar so it's easy to see the status of your appointments at a glance.

Enable Confirmations

Turn on Appointment Confirmations in your settings on the web application or in your Message Template using the calendar add-on.

W

When you activate Appointment Confirmations we'll include a short message and URL in the SMS reminder asking the customer to Confirm or Cancel.

Your Calendar is Updated With the Status

With appointment confirmations are enabled, the SMS Reminder app will update your calendar and let you know the status of your appointments. The app appends that status to the front of your existing appointment's Title and it will change the colour of appointment:

• Pending - As soon as the first reminder is sent, the status will be set to Pending and the appointment will be set to Yellow. If the status is pending, the user has not yet responded.

• Confirmed - If the recipient confirms the appointment it's set to Green.

• Cancelled - If the recipient cancels the appointment it's set to Red and the appointment is marked as 'Free' in your calendar so you can re-book the slot.
