How does texting work? 

1-way texting: 

In addition to an automated email reminder that you can enable, the 1-way texting package (available in all countries) is a great way to notify your customer of an upcoming booking. From Account Settings » Customer Communication » SMS / Text Message Reminder, check the box to "Enable Text Message Reminders" and customize the content of the reminder message as needed. Revelation Pets will then automatically send a text message reminder the day before a booking to any customer that has a mobile number noted on their profile. 

2-way texting: 

In addition to the automated reminder texts noted above for the 1-way texting package, 2-way texting allows you to have a conversational exchange with your customer from within Revelation Pets! This feature is an awesome in-app way to quickly answer customer questions or follow-up with important booking information.

*2-way texting is only currently available in the US, UK, and Canada. 

When you subscribe to 2-way texting, an additional bell icon will appear in the upper right-hand corner of your application. This is where your text messages will generate within Revelation Pets. 

You will be able to have an exchange with your customer when clicking this icon. You will also be able to see any other messages across owners through your app.

You can send a text directly from the detailed view of a booking or from the customer's profile.

You can cancel this add-on feature at any time by navigating to Account Settings » Your Account » Your Subscription. If you have any additional questions regarding this feature, please reach out to our Support Team at support@revelationpets.com.
