If you have a large number of clients, manually sending messages can be a tiring task that requires a lot of time and effort.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, the system provides the feature of automatically messaging clients without the need for manual sending each time. This is done through <strong>Auto Reminder Rules<\/strong>, which will be the subject of our explanation in this article, and its elements are as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Automated sending rules for appointments.<\/li>\n<li>Creating an appointment with a client as a practical example.<\/li>\n<li>Automated sending rules for invoices.<\/li>\n<li>Creating a sales invoice as a practical example.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;64&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Auto Sending Rules for Appointments&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|font_size:28|text_align:center|color:%2304306b|line_height:2&#8243; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1701867778831{background-color: #f6f9fc !important;border-radius: 4px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text]We perform this procedure when we have a specific appointment with a client and we want to notify them via SMS or email.
