3. Sign-Up Confirmation (Email)
Use this email to welcome new subscribers and confirm their plan or service details, so they feel valued and excited to get started.

How to do it
In the WPForms form builder, setting up appointment reminders is simple and customizable. You can choose to send reminders via email, SMS, or WhatsApp, so your message reaches clients no matter where they are.
Want to increase visibility? Combine both email and text notifications for maximum coverage.
If you prefer a more personalized approach, you might let your visitors choose their preferred communication method. With conditional logic, you can automatically route reminders to the correct channel based on your visitor’s selection.
Personalizing with Smart Tags
And with the WPForms Twilio addon, you can make your reminders more engaging by incorporating details submitted through your forms.
Smart Tags allow you to personalize each message with information like:
- Visitor’s Name: Adding your website visitor’s name brings a personal touch that makes your message feel more meaningful.
- Appointment Time: Clearly state the date and time of your site visitor’s appointment to avoid any confusion.
- Booking Confirmation: Confirm their reservation to provide reassurance and prevent any doubts.
- Personalized Call-to-Action: In WhatsApp, include a relevant pricing link and a clear CTA for easy action.
- Order Summary: Summarize what they’ve purchased or signed up for, highlighting the key details.
Whether you’re sending an email or SMS, WPForms’ Twilio integration allows you to automate reminders and summaries that keep your clients informed and active — without heavy lifting on your part.
