# How to Enable Customer Notifications and Reminders on Picktime

Picktime lets you control which email and SMS notifications are sent to customers for appointments, resources, classes, waitlists, and reminders. These notifications help customers stay updated when a booking is confirmed, rescheduled, cancelled, or when a reminder needs to be sent before the scheduled time.

You can manage these settings from the Notifications section in your Picktime account.

## Step 1: Go to Setup

Log in to your Picktime account. From the left-side menu, click **Setup**.

On the Setup page, select **Notifications**.

## Step 2: Open Customer Notification Settings

On the Notifications page, go to the **Customers** tab.

Here, you can manage the notifications that are sent directly to customers. You can choose which email and SMS updates customers should receive for different booking activities.

You can also enable SMS notifications for booked, rescheduled, and cancelled appointments.

## Step 4: Enable Resource Notifications

If your business accepts resource bookings, you can enable customer notifications under the **Resources** section.

You can choose to send emails when a resource is booked, pending, rescheduled, cancelled, or declined. You can also enable SMS notifications for resource bookings, reschedules, and cancellations.

## Step 5: Enable Class Notifications

## Step 6: Enable Class Waitlist Notifications

If you use waitlists for classes, you can also enable waitlist-related customer notifications.

Picktime allows you to send email and SMS updates when a customer is added to a waitlist, when a waitlisted class session is rescheduled, or when it is cancelled.

## Step 7: Set Customer Reminders

Scroll to the **Reminders** section.

Turn on **Send Email Reminders before** or **Send SMS Reminders before** based on how you want to remind customers about upcoming bookings.

Then, choose when the reminder should be sent, such as a specific number of days, hours, or minutes before the booking.

Once saved, Picktime will send customer notifications based on the settings you selected.
