Using SMS with Appointment Manager
Please note that Reckon SMS is an additional cost. You must buy SMS bundles from the Reckon
Online website after you sign up for this service.
To use Reckon SMS you must have enabled Appointment Manager and have appointments/
reservations made using your customer/contact list.
The Reckon SMS functionality in POS gives you the ability to send your customers SMS reminders of their booked
reservation/appointments. The POS Administrator can also send one-o messages to customers. POS also gives
your customers an option to opt out of receiving promotional/advertising SMS from you.
POS Administrator should be open and have Internet access while any of your terminals are sending SMS messages,
otherwise they will be sent the next time POS Administrator is open. Any messages waiting to be sent are stored in
the POS database, which communicates with the Reckon SMS service to send messages and receive any responses.
If there are any errors in the communication they are shown in the SMS Message Log.
