Customers Not Receiving Notifications and Reminders - Vagaro Pro app

To see why customers are not getting email and text notifications or reminders, follow the steps below.

• Make sure notifications and reminders are turned on in your Settings
• Make sure the client has a valid email and phone number
• Make sure that the notifications and reminders options are turned on in the client's profile

Remember, if a customer books an appointment, class, or workshop on your online booking page, they will not receive a text notification. But they will see a message on the screen confirming that the appointment was booked.

If you book an appointment on your calendar in your Vagaro account, the client will receive a notification.

Also, remember customers can only reply to email notifications. They can't respond to automated text messages as the messages come from a short code number, 89885.

Important Information for T-Mobile Users 

T-Mobile customers who are not receiving text messages from Vagaro likely have the Message Blocking feature set on their account.

Message Blocking is a service that allows you to block messages to and from your phone. Thus, you can block incoming and outgoing text messages (SMS), picture messages (MMS), Instant Messages (IM), and emails.

What if Customers Still Are NOT Receiving Notifications?
