Text Response Alerts
Sounds and visual highlighting for texts received from customers
When a customer who is on the waitlist or has a reservation sends you a text, you are able to see their text reply. This helps you know when a customer decided not to come so you can remove them from the list, if they are on their way so you can hold their spot, or if they have something else to ask or tell you. Pro & Platinum subscriptions allow you to send open text replies to customers for more flexible communications.
The higher subscription tiers also include a feature to enable an audio alert or visual highlighting when customers send you messages. Normally you would see a note in the customer row when they send you a text, and the full details of texts sent and received when tapping on the customer row. The alert feature makes it easier to know when a customer replies and which customer replied by playing a sound and flashing the area of the notes to attract your attention to the right spot to look.
Here’s how to set these up: If you use Waitlist Me in a computer browser, on the top right of the main waitlist page click on the Settings gear icon and go to Custom Behaviors > Receiving Texts. Here you can turn on options to play a sound and/or highlight the section of the waitlist that has the text response alert for a customer. These settings will apply to any devices using the web version.
In the Waitlist Me apps, the Custom Behavior settings are device-dependent, so you can choose whether to have them on or off for every tablet or phone you’re using. In the app, go to the gear icon > Customization > Custom Behaviors > Receiving Texts to edit these options. Once turned on, you would hear a chime and see the highlighted area when you have the app open on your device.
