How to configure client communication

Most client anxiety is really an information gap. JAP can carry booking confirmations, reminders and updates so you're not typing the same message twenty times a week.

What you end up with: Fewer phone calls, and clients who know what's happening.

Steps

  1. Check your contact details are correct

    Clients reply to what they receive, so the return address matters.

  2. Decide what a client hears and when

    Confirmation at booking, a reminder before the visit, an update when it matters.

  3. Turn on the messages you want

    Keep it to the ones a client would thank you for. Two-way texting is available on paid plans.

  4. Write in your own voice

    Short, warm and specific beats formal. Clients can tell the difference.

  5. Watch your message allowance

    Each paid plan includes a monthly text allowance; you'll see usage before you get near it.

Recommended setup

  • One reminder, well timed, is better than three.
  • Save photo updates for moments that genuinely reassure — arrival, a good walk, pick-up ready.

Tips

  • Included text allowances differ by plan, and messages keep working past the included count.
