Works with:
791K+
Overview
Cut no-shows with automatic SMS appointment reminders, sent straight from the Google Calendar™ you already use. Built for small businesses, solo professionals, and small teams who run on appointments.

A simple text reminder helps reduce no-shows. Texts see roughly a 98% open rate versus about 33% for email (source: SimpleTexting), so your reminders actually get read. SMS Reminder sends those texts for you automatically, before every appointment, and now it handles the replies too.

By the numbers
- 790,000+ installs on the Google Workspace Marketplace
- 2,000+ businesses send reminders with SMS Reminder
- 5M+ reminders sent
- Works in 100+ countries, including the US, Canada, the UK, Australia, and across Europe

Why small businesses choose SMS Reminder
- Automatic text reminders. Set them once and SMS reminders go out before every appointment, including recurring ones, so you can book it, set it, and forget it
- Two-way texting. Clients reply to confirm, cancel, or reschedule, and the app responds automatically and updates your appointment status or time, so your calendar stays accurate
- Works inside the Google Calendar™ you already use, so there's nothing new to learn
- A custom booking page with a shareable link, so clients self-book into your real availability
- Sync multiple Google Calendars and add team members as your plan grows
- Start with 25 free reminders, then move to a paid plan that scales as you do

Get started in 4 simple steps
1. Click Install at the top of this page.
2. Open SMS Reminder in the right sidebar of your Google Calendar™.
3. Connect your account and set your reminder timing (for example, 24 hours and 2 hours before).
4. You're live. Reminders send automatically, and clients can confirm, cancel, or reschedule by text.

Prefer to set reminders manually? You can. Pick any appointment, add a phone number, and send.

How it works
SMS Reminder connects to your Google Calendar™ and works alongside the SMS Reminder service (a free account is created when you sign in with Google). Add a client's phone number to an event, or let the app detect it automatically, and SMS Reminder schedules the text based on your template and timing. Your template pulls the appointment title, date, and time in automatically, so every reminder looks personal with no extra work.
- As clients reply, your Google Calendar events update in real time and are color-coded by status, so you can see your whole day at a glance: green = confirmed, yellow = pending, red = cancelled, blue = internal or blocked time.

As a small business owner and software developer, I am insanely busy with coding, meetings, clients, and work in general. I've completed my own testing of this app and it does exactly what it says it does. I am so impressed that I will be subscribing to the paid version. What I like? 1. Intuitive user interface 2. Installation and on-boarding is simple 3. Connectivity with Google Calendars is simple to setup 4. The app hasn't dropped the ball ever! If it is in my calendar(s), and I've configured the app to send an SMS based on certain criteria I get an SMS reminder. 5. No more manual texting to clients reminding them of appointments. This app automates the entire flow. A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!! Why I chose this app over other solutions. It solves a problem/pain point" 1. How do I as a small business owner remind clients of our appointments without a) "bugging them with email reminders they may never see," b) how do I choose a solution that our team will adopt and use? c) I don't need to add yet another task to my "apps to code" project list instead... d) use SMS Reminders. Easy. Keep up the great work and to those that are reading this...download this app and check it out!

This is a great add on to google calendar! Never knew I needed this add on as much. But since Im on a Free Cellular Phone Service from TextNow Wireless. They require you to make at least one call or send one text message to keep your free service active. The phone service is free for life. Well as long they stay in business and users are using the free plan. I can just use this to send out a sms reminder weekly! Fo Free! But itll also be useful to me for my work and school and maybe whatever else plans or appointments or meetups I have as well. It was easy to setup and works fine out the gate. Salutes to the developers for this app or software add on. Thanks!

I just tested this app out to see how it works. The reason for this review is because, I was highly satisfied with the app. I give it 5 stars because of the way it was described was exactly the way it worked. It was easy to set-up just follow the prompts. I recommend this app if you have appointments and your job involves you making them appointments. I am a case manager for a rehab. I am responsible for making sure my client's make those appointments on time and as scheduled. I am going to recommend this to my co-workers. Maybe we will start using this app to incorporate our daily schedules.
