From the top menu, click to go to Admin Tools, then click to go to Email Reminder Settings

By default, email reminders are sent out 48 hours ahead of the scheduled appointment time. To change this frequency, replace the default time with another entry, such as 24 to send reminders 24 hours before appointment, 72 for 72 hours before appointment, and so on. 

The subject line of the Email Reminder can be updated to include custom information. Details located in {parentheses} are placeholders, and dynamically populate based upon the scheduled appointment.

Use the Add Data dropdown to select placeholders as you customize the subject heading

In addition to the subject line, the body of the email reminder can also be customized. Begin typing in the text box to build the content of the reminder, then use the available options to insert data placeholders and styling/formatting where appropriate

When you’re satisfied with your customized Email Reminder, click Screenshot for Custom Email Reminders to save.  You’ll see a brief confirmation (called a “toast” notification) at the bottom corner of your screen confirming your settings have been saved
