We love this question! If you want full automated control, you can do this from an Android device. Please contact us via WhatsApp +40725425083 to receive setup instructions. We will do our best to help you achieve the desired results as quickly as possible!
How do I modify the message sent to clients?
Main menu “☰” ➣ Employees ➣ Select the employee's name ➣ Edit SMS Template
Check the first line at the top – “Use Custom SMS”
Edit the message with the following precautions:
Do not delete #D and #H, which correspond to the day and time automatically set by the app when adding the appointment. Make sure to provide the correct contact information, your name or your business name, and contact phone number. Please do not use diacritics or emojis. Also, avoid using accents specific to German and Hungarian languages. Please stay within the 160-character limit imposed by mobile operators (you have a character counter). Please do not use the words “today,” “tomorrow,” “the day after tomorrow,” etc., as the reminder message is common for the alert one day before and the one two hours before.
How do I remove or add SMS alerts to an existing appointment?
Select the appointment you want to edit. Click the “✎” icon in the bottom right corner. Then click on “Details.” In SMS Alerts, click on the “✎“ icon. Here you can activate or deactivate notifications. Save.
How do I remove or add SMS alerts to a new appointment?

Attention!
Once you modify the SMS alert sending model, it will be retained for the appointments you set later. To revert to the original model, set an appointment at least 24 hours later, ensuring that you check all 3 SMS alerts in the last step.
How do SMS alerts work?
SMS alerts are a great way to ensure your clients don’t forget their appointments and that you don’t waste time. You can set them up to be sent as a confirmation when you make a new appointment, as well as to remind clients one day and two hours before the appointment. This helps clients remember and arrive on time. It's definitely worth setting up the three SMS alerts for your appointments!

Your schedule, your rules! Add breaks, days, or extra hours, and you can even add vacation days. Zen Agenda allows you to set cyclical schedules. If you schedule one week, that schedule will repeat weekly. If you schedule two, the first week will have a certain schedule (for example, you work this week) and the second week a different schedule (for example, you don't work this week), after which the cycle starts again. You can do this for up to 4 consecutive weeks. Once the cycle you set ends, the agenda automatically starts over. See video tutorial here.

Absolutely! To sync with Google Calendar, contact us via call or WhatsApp +40725425083. We will provide you with a unique link to complete the synchronization.
