How can I set up appointment reminders?
You can use Zapier SMS integrations to set up appointment reminders. Reminders can be configured as one-time or recurring events. SMS templates created with merge fields make it easy to confirm or re-schedule appointments automatically.
Zapier SMS integrations can also be used to set up reminders. Connect with your favorite scheduling apps, such as Calendly, Google Calendar, and Lucid Meeting, to trigger automatic responses whenever an event is canceled or delayed.
How can I send more details about a property via text?
There are two ways to send more real-estate information via text message:
1. With SMS attachments. Adding a download link to your text is more effective than MMS. You can send photos, images, flyers, or complete real estate listings as attachments in a few easy clicks. To attach a document, click on “new message”, then on “attach file” under the insert tag in the TextMagic dashboard. Attachments will appear as links that recipients can download.
2. Real-estate information as links. Another option would be to upload the documents on your website and send them via SMS as short links. Links can be shortened using services like bit.ly to save the precious text.
How can I automate customer support or property detail requests?
Step #1: For every property listing in your portfolio, you can request clients to send a specific text to obtain more information.
Example: “Text House18 to (855)-xxx-xxxx for more details about the property.”
Step #2: Log in to your TextMagic account or sign up for a free trial. Navigate to Services -> Automation Rules.
Step #3: Create a new rule (e.g. “House 18 Details”) and add “House18” in the keyword field. Click “Continue”. Every text containing this keyword will trigger an automatic response.
Step #4: Select your auto-response type. In this situation, we will choose “Text message” and write down the property details that we want to share. TextMagic allows you to insert templates, merge fields, or attach files.
Step #5: Configure an additional rule to segment your audience based on preferences. Additional rules will allow you to send targeted real-estate texts in the future. Choose “Add contact to list” and select the list where you want the lead assigned. Click “Continue”.
