To learn if voice call reminders are supported in your country, contact support@greminders.com<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you know that GReminders allows you to send automated voice reminders to clients? It is one of only a handful of affordable applications that include this feature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not long ago, we published a post that asked the question, <em><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.greminders.com\/articles\/which-is-the-best-way-remind-your-clients-about-appointments-text-message-or-voice-calls\/\" target=\"_blank\">Which is the Best Way to Remind Your Clients about Appointments: Text or Voice Calls<\/a>.<\/em> The article concludes that in most cases, SMS reminders are the most effective method to employ. We stand by our earlier conclusion, but understand that there are clients who still prefer voice calls to text messages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Give Your Clients a Choice<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Since we published the article mentioned above, GReminders has introduced advanced criteria, which allows users to send reminders based on multiple custom criteria. This feature allows <em>your<\/em> clients to indicate which method of reminders they prefer and then automatically send reminders based on their preference. I think you\u2019ll agree, anytime you can respond to your client\u2019s wishes, you look good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Creating Questions in Event Type Templates<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"749\" height=\"441\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greminders.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/QuestionsToAsk-s.jpg\" alt=\"Custom Questions\" class=\"wp-image-1755\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greminders.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/QuestionsToAsk-s.jpg 749w, https:\/\/www.greminders.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/QuestionsToAsk-s-300x177.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 749px) 100vw, 749px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When setting up an event type, under &#8220;Questions you want to ask prior to Scheduling&#8221;, select \u201cAdd a New Question\u201d and choose \u201cRadio Buttons\u201d. Then include a choice between receiving text messages or phone calls. Make this a \u201cRequired\u201d field. We recommend that with voice reminders, you also send emails with information that would be difficult to convey in a phone message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"824\" height=\"743\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greminders.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Choice-s.jpg\" alt=\"Online Calendar\" class=\"wp-image-1756\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greminders.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Choice-s.jpg 824w, https:\/\/www.greminders.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Choice-s-300x271.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.greminders.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Choice-s-768x693.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 824px) 100vw, 824px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When your clients schedule their appointments online, they must choose which method of communication they prefer. If you book appointments directly with your clients, ask their preference when scheduling and include a specific term like, \u201cPhone Call\u201d in the calendar description.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Creating Your Reminder Templates<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1017\" height=\"571\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greminders.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11194\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greminders.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/image.png 1017w, https:\/\/www.greminders.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/image-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/www.greminders.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/image-768x431.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1017px) 100vw, 1017px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This is where \u201cAdvanced Criteria\u201d with expandable conditional logic comes in. When creating a template for this event, you may wish to include a \u201cCustom Criteria\u201d for the Event Title (Initial Meeting in this example). Next, click \u201cAND\u201d and add the &#8220;criteria&#8221; \u201cEvent Description contains the word or phrase Phone Call\u201d. Be sure to select &#8220;Phone Call&#8221; under Timing. Now, all Initial Meetings that contain the word Phone Call in the description will receive this reminder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clone this template and create templates where the &#8220;Event Description contains the word or phrase Text Message&#8221;. Then create a template for your email message for all events that match just the Event Title. You can create as many reminders as needed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Creating the Voice Message<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Create voice messages that make it easy for your clients to understand. For example, include text for numbers (one instead of 1) and include periods for pauses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"994\" height=\"328\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greminders.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/image-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11196\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greminders.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/image-1.png 994w, https:\/\/www.greminders.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/image-1-300x99.png 300w, https:\/\/www.greminders.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/image-1-768x253.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 994px) 100vw, 994px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Make certain your message is clear by creating a test appointment and listening to the message. Include a statement that you will be sending an email with additional details so they don\u2019t panic if they happen to miss something you said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Here is a typical voice call reminder:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/www.greminders.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/VoiceCall.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As you heard in the message, you can ask your client to <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"confirm by pressing one (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.greminders.com\/articles\/press-1-to-confirm\/\" target=\"_blank\">confirm by pressing one<\/a>. You will be notified of the confirmation by email and\/or text and a checkmark will appear on your calendar event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can hear the difference in the pace of the message when periods are included to create pauses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow the steps in this article to begin offering your clients the option of voice reminders.
