Booking confirmationText
You're booked, [first name]. [Day, date], arrival window [window]. [Tech first name] will text when they're on the way. To help us get started fast: [1-2 prep items, e.g. "clear a path to the furnace and put pets in another room"]. Need to change it? Just reply here.
Tip: Pick the one or two prep items that save you the most time on arrival. The trade pages have a prep line for each trade.

On my wayText
Hi [first name], it's [tech] with [business]. I'm on my way and should be there around [time]. [Optional: "I'll be in a white van with our logo."]
Booking a big job (install, roof, landscape project)Text
Hi [first name], your [job] is scheduled for [date(s)]. What to expect: - Crew arrives around [time] and usually works until [time] - [Noise/water/power shutoff note, e.g. "Power will be off for about 2 hours"] - [What they need to do, e.g. "Move cars out of the driveway"] - [Who to contact during the job: name + number] We'll text you an update at the end of each day.
Tip: Mention noise, water, or power shutoffs ahead of time. Surprises are what customers remember.
Texting consent (not legal advice): get your customer's consent before you text them, and give a clear way to opt out of marketing texts, such as replying STOP. Replying to someone who just called you, or sending updates about a job they booked, is generally treated differently from marketing texts. Rules differ by state and country, and texting platforms set their own. When in doubt, ask your texting provider or a local adviser.
