WhatsApp Notifications Arrive for Calendars

WhatsApp Notifications Arrive for Calendars

October 24, 20252 min read

You can now send calendar notifications directly through WhatsApp, giving you a faster, more reliable way to connect with clients and ensure they never miss an appointment.

This new feature allows you to send Unconfirmed, Confirmed, Canceled, Rescheduled, and Reminder messages through WhatsApp — alongside email and SMS. It’s all managed within your existing calendar notification settings.

Each notification can be fully customized and sent to Contacts, Assigned Users, or Additional Numbers, keeping every party informed in real time.


How to Use

  1. Go to Calendar Settings → Edit Calendar → Notifications & Additional Options.

  2. Select the notification type (e.g., Appointment Confirmed, Reminder, etc.).

  3. Click the WhatsApp tab and toggle Enable.

  4. Choose your recipient types — Contact, Assigned User, or Additional Phone Numbers.

  5. Select an approved WhatsApp template for each message type.

  6. Use Send Test WhatsApp Notification to preview your message before saving.

Once saved, your calendar will automatically send notifications via WhatsApp for all future appointments that match your chosen types.


Why This Matters

This update adds a modern, mobile-first communication channel to your scheduling system — giving you more flexibility and better engagement rates.

  • Faster responses: Clients are more likely to see and reply to WhatsApp messages than emails.

  • Higher show-up rates: Timely reminders reduce no-shows and last-minute cancellations.

  • Better control: You can customize notifications per recipient type and message template.

  • Multi-channel flexibility: Combine WhatsApp with email or SMS for layered communication.

Appointment Reminders: Send quick reminders that clients can respond to instantly.
Team Notifications: Notify staff when new bookings are confirmed or rescheduled.
Follow-Up Messages: Automatically confirm or update clients about their next visit.
Multi-Channel Engagement: Use WhatsApp alongside SMS and email for maximum reach.

Now live in Gold Star Pro Calendars, WhatsApp Notifications make communication seamless — for you, your team, and your clients.
