Edit your notification message
Log in to your Square Dashboard and click Appointments > Settings > Communications.
Under Customise Notifications, select the notification you want to edit. You can toggle between editing the text message and the email version of the notification.
To include automated fields, like client name or business name, copy the variables from the table and paste them into your message.
Click Save.
For text message notifications, the default message will be sent if the customised message fails to send. This can happen if the message you input exceeds the text message length of 1024 characters.
Note: Appointment notifications are for transactional messages only; marketing and promotional language will be blocked. You can use Square Marketing to send email and text marketing campaigns.
