SMS reminder for clients the easy way

April 10, 2023 3:03 AM

Is there an android app that will easily let me send people an SMS confirming their booking time the night before? Ideally it would send directly from my phone, I don't want to buy bulk-SMS service. My ideal workflow is I enter a certain type of appointment in outlook or google calendar on my desktop, and my phone keeps track and sends them an SMS confirmation at a certain time the day before their appointment with the details.

Best answer: Tasker is a general-purpose automation app for Android that can do this and a whole bunch more.

Response by poster: I would say it's probably time for me to get to grips with Tasker yes. Thanks for the push. Any ideas of where to find good scripts that might suit the purpose?
