Appointments can be created against a customer and categorised as Quote, Install, Service, Repair or Other. If you choose to send the customer an email reminder they will receive one immediately after the appointment is saved, and another one closer to the appointment date to remind them.
A service reminder can also be set for any future date. If you select to send an email reminder the customer will receive an email at the time of saving the appointment and another 28 days before the service is due.
In either case an additional email will always be sent to you as an appointment approaches.
Should you wish to create an appointment that is not linked to a customer you can do so via TradeHelp Office. Simply select ‘Create appointment without customer’ rather than selecting the customer name from the customer page.
