3 Best practices for sending text message reminders
Keep your message short and to the point
People are more likely to read and retain information that is presented clearly and concisely, which is why it's essential to keep your appointment reminder text short. Keeping it brief encourages your contacts to read the message and act upon it immediately instead of pushing it off until later.
Use a clear and actionable subject line
Using a clear and actionable subject line helps the recipient quickly understand the purpose of the message, what action they need to take, and allows them to find the message easily in their inbox if they need to refer to it later. The subject line should clearly state the event or deadline that the reminder is for to ensure the recipient can prioritize their tasks and respond accordingly.
Give recipients an easy way to confirm or reschedule
Giving your contacts an easy way to confirm or reschedule via text message appointment reminders is a great way to stay organized and avoid extra phone calls. By sending out SMS appointment reminders, you can also reduce missed appointments and no-shows.
A survey is an easy way to get contacts to confirm their attendance for their upcoming appointment. For rescheduling appointments, use an SMS keyword such as "RESCHEDULE." If your recipient responds with this keyword, you can send an automated message with the link to reschedule their appointment.

Is mass texting an effective way to send an appointment reminder?
Mass messaging is an effective way to text appointment reminders, as it is an easy and cost-effective way to reach many people at once. SMS messages have a high open rate, with 98% of text messages being read within 3 minutes, compared to 20% of emails. Additionally, mass text reminders can be scheduled ahead of time, which ensures that messages are sent at a time they are most likely to be read and acted upon.

Is mass text messaging legal?
As long as you're reaching out to people with the information they want and you have consent to message them - a mass text reminder service can be a very powerful communication tool for sending appointment reminders, notifications, and alerts.
While mass text messaging is by no means illegal, it is heavily restricted. The U.S. government has a long history of regulation protecting consumer privacy concerning telemarketing and robocalls, and this also extends to text messaging. The most critical piece of legislation narrowing the scope of acceptable telemarketing practices came with the TCPA of 1991, which amended the original Communications Act of 1934.
