Introduction

The Notification Subject and Message fields use Twig Code Templates. These help you automatically add in information from each appointment.

This guide will help you personalize your Notifications to make each customer feel like you wrote them especially for them. And, if you’d like to start with a base message, use our Default Notification Templates.

Visit our other guide for Advanced Twig Templates to further customize your notifications.

Payment Information

If your appointments are set up to accept payments, you can send the customer the following payment information.

Payment Amount

The total amount paid for the booking. If no payment was made, the default value is 0.

{{ Appointment.payment_received }}

Payment Status

Verify if payment was made at the time of booking. This returns a “Paid” or “Unpaid” statement.

{{ Appointment.payment_status }}

Payment Method

Display the method of payment. If no payment was made, nothing will be displayed.

Add to Calendar Links

Generate a link that users can use to add the appointment information to their calendars. This can be used for admins, team members, or customers.

We don’t have a way to customize the calendar event information passed through these links; if you’d like to customize the calendar events, use our Google Calendar Sync feature instead.

ICS link
