Notification channels and send windows
Reviewed 2026-08-30

Settings → Notifications controls which salon events go out on each channel and when marketing automations are allowed to send in your salon’s timezone.
Email, SMS, and Push channels
Open salon notification settings. Enable email, SMS, and push separately for new bookings, cancellations, and reminders.
Turning a channel on does not replace client consent. Appointment SMS still needs SMS consent on the booking, and marketing still needs marketing opt-in.
Set channel toggles
- Go to Settings → Notifications.
- In the notifications matrix, turn Email, SMS, and Push on or off for New bookings, Cancellations, and Reminders.
- Save your channel choices.
Past appointment status alerts
Past appointment status alerts staff when appointments end without a final status, so reporting stays accurate.
Turn on in-app alerts and/or email alerts, then set email frequency for the minimum time between digest emails for the same alert.
Configure Past appointment status
- Open Settings → Notifications.
- Find Past appointment status.
- Enable In-app alerts and/or Email alerts, then set Email frequency.
Marketing quiet hours
Open automation send windows and set marketing quiet hours to limit when marketing SMS and email may send. Keep the window between 08:00 and 21:00 in the salon’s local timezone.
Booking reminders skip the marketing quiet window, but they still respect the transactional earliest-send time.
Set Marketing quiet hours
- Go to Settings → Notifications.
- Open Automation send windows.
- Choose the start and end times for Marketing quiet hours.
Transactional earliest send
Transactional earliest send sets the local time before which booking reminders and other appointment texts wait.
Use it to avoid very early reminder texts while still allowing appointment updates outside marketing quiet hours.
Set Transactional earliest send
- Open Settings → Notifications.
- Under Automation send windows, find Transactional earliest send.
- Choose the earliest local time for booking reminders and appointment texts.
Frequency caps and send ceilings
Marketing frequency caps set the maximum marketing messages per client per channel in rolling 7-day and 30-day windows. Caps apply across all automations for this salon—not per automation.
Provider send ceilings add hourly and daily marketing limits per channel so one SMS blast cannot use up email capacity, and marketing cannot crowd out appointment texts on the same channel.
Adjust caps and ceilings
- Open Settings → Notifications.
- Set Marketing frequency caps for Per 7 days and Per 30 days.
- Set Provider send ceilings for Per hour and Per day.
