Get Started with Square Assistant on Square Appointments
With this automated assistant, your clients will be able to respond directly to SMS appointment reminders and confirm, reschedule, or cancel upcoming appointments. It will automatically update your Square Appointments calendar, and save you time managing your appointments.
To have the best experience possible using Square Assistant, please download the latest update from the App Store or Google Play on your mobile device.
Enable Square Assistant
You can enable Square Assistant at any time from your Appointments Dashboard on a computer, or from the Appointments app on your mobile device.
- Go to the Settings tab of your Appointments Dashboard.
- Select Communications and turn on the Square Assistant toggle.
Note: By default, Square Assistant will be enabled for most merchants. This feature is only available for merchants with online booking.

Cancellation Policy
If a client attempts to cancel or reschedule outside of the allowed window, they will see an error message similar to the one that’s displayed on your online booking site when they attempt to cancel too late. If you handle all appointment changes yourself, Square Assistant will respect that policy.
Note: Classes are not compatible with this feature.
