Let's get started!

1. Click Customers at the top of the screen. 

2. Enter the name of the customer. Then select it once it appears. This action takes you directly to the client's profile. 

3. Once you get to the customer's profile, select the Appointments tab. 

4. Locate the appointment. Click on the three dots that correspond to it on the right side of the screen. Then select Timeline. The timeline provides more details about the appointment, including if a customer received an appointment notification. 

5. If the customer failed to receive the notification, you'll see a status of Failed on the right side of the screen in the column under Action. 

6. Hover over the icon under the status to see why the customer failed to receive it. Typically, a notification fails to reach the recipient when the contact information is invalid, incorrect or if it has been marked as spam. 

7. If a notification has been sent successfully, you won't see a Failed status. In the example below, you can see that the customer was even able to access it. If you hover over the icon above the Email and SMS links, you can get more details. 

Click Email to see a copy of the email notification that was sent to the client. Click SMS to see the text notification that was sent.
