How SMS Reminder Works with WordPress

SMS Reminder connects your WordPress site to your Google Calendar, allowing clients to book appointments based on your real-time availability.

Once connected:

Your availability is pulled directly from your calendar
Clients can schedule appointments without back-and-forth
Bookings are automatically added to your Google Calendar
Everything stays in sync in one place

You don’t need a separate scheduling tool or complex setup — it works with the calendar you already use.

The Wordpress SMS Reminder plugin works perfectly for:

• salons and spas
• consultants and coaches
• cleaning services
• clinics and therapists
• automotive services
• tutors and instructors

Add a Booking Button to Your WordPress Site

The SMS Reminder booking plugin automatically adds a booking button to your WordPress site.

After installing the plugin:

Install the plugin
Connect your Google Calendar
Set your appointment availability and appointment types
Add your booking page or “Book Now” button
Start accepting appointments instantly

Visitors can click the button, view your availability, and book a time that works — all without leaving your site.

Optional: Enable automated SMS reminders to reduce appointment no-shows.

Add the SMS Reminder booking button to your WordPress site

You can add a booking button to your WordPress site using the official SMS Reminder plugin.

Once connected, you can customize your button, insert it into any page or post, and start accepting appointments based on your Google Calendar availability. Optional SMS reminders can be sent automatically before each appointment.

Step 1 — Install the plugin and connect your account

Install the SMS Reminder Booking plugin from the WordPress plugin marketplace.

After installing:

Go to Settings > SMS Reminder Booking
Click Login or Sign Up
Create your SMS Reminder account

Once connected, your booking settings will appear directly inside WordPress.

Step 2 — Customize your booking button

After connecting your account, you can customize how your booking button appears.

In Settings > SMS Reminder Booking, you can:

Edit the button label (e.g., “Book Now”)
Choose the background color
Choose the text color
Select the button size
Set the button alignment

A live preview shows exactly how your button will look before you publish.

Step 3 — Add the booking button to a page or post

Open the page or post where you want the booking button to appear.

Then:

Click the + icon in the WordPress editor
Search for SMS Reminder Booking Button
Insert the block into your page
Click Publish or Update

Your booking button will now appear on your live site.

Step 4 — Share your booking page directly (optional)

You can also share your booking page without adding a button to your site.

In plugin settings under Share your booking page, you can:

Click Copy booking link
Click View page

Use this link in emails, text messages, or social posts to start accepting bookings instantly.

Step 5 — What happens next

Once your booking button is live:

Visitors click Book Now on your site
They view your real-time availability
They choose a time and confirm their appointment
Bookings are automatically added to your Google Calendar

Everything stays in sync—no manual scheduling required.

Send optional SMS appointment reminders

You can enable SMS reminders to automatically notify clients before their appointment.

For example:

24 hours before
2 hours before

These reminders help reduce missed appointments and keep your schedule full.

Reminder settings are managed in your SMS Reminder account. Free to start. Upgrade anytime to enable SMS reminders.

💡 Tip: You can use both options together—add a booking button to your site and share your booking link anywhere you want clients to book.
