Enabling Event Started Notifications To Clients
Time To Pet offers automatic notifications to your clients when you or a staff member starts their visit. When Event Started notifications are enabled, Time To Pet can send your clients a push notification or text message notification letting them know you have arrived and started their visit. If you have some services with which you would like to send Event Started notifications but others that you do not, you can customize this on a service-by-service basis in the Services List.

Enabling Or Disabling Event Started Notifications For A Service

Enabling Or Disabling Text Message Event Started Notifications
By default, the Event Started notifications will only be sent as push notifications, and clients would need to have downloaded and be logged into the Mobile App to receive them.
If you would also like to send Event Started notifications to your clients as text messages, you can enable this in Settings > Integrations > Text Messaging. To receive a text message notification, the client must also have Texting enabled on their account and have a valid phone number on file.
