You can now receive an SMS notification when a new booking is made if you use the SMS module.
This can be configured to notify you either when any new booking is created or specifically when a same-day booking is received.

Before setting up your booking notification SMS, you need to add your mobile number to your account.

- Add your mobile number using the +447 format.
- Switch on the SMS notification setting.
- Click Save.
Important: Your mobile number must be entered in the +447 format for SMS notifications to work correctly.

Once your mobile number has been added, go to the SMS area within Configuration.
- Select the relevant Site, Category and Unit.
