Text and WhatsApp reminders through your own account

On the roadmap for Solo and Pro: reminders and confirmations by text message (SMS) and WhatsApp, sent through your own provider account, such as Twilio or Meta's WhatsApp Business Platform. You pay the provider directly; we never resell messages, so your customers' phone numbers never reach us.

Everything about text and WhatsApp reminders

The plan

  • Text messages (SMS) and WhatsApp for confirmations and reminders, alongside email.
  • Sent through your own provider account. We will not sell message credits.
  • Customers' phone numbers stay on your website and with your provider, following CaliDiary's rule that businesses' customer data never reaches our servers.

Email reminders meanwhile

Email confirmations for every change to a booking, and an email reminder a set number of hours before, on every plan. Solo and Pro send several reminders per booking.

Questions about text and WhatsApp reminders

When will text reminders be available?
They are on the roadmap. Email confirmations and reminders work on every plan.
Why use my own provider account?
So the messages, and your customers' phone numbers, go straight from your website to your provider. CaliDiary never sees them, and you pay the provider's own prices.

Try CaliDiary on your own website.
