How to set up AI text replies for your business

Texting that books appointments

Your Scheduley number doesn’t just take calls — it texts. Clients get confirmations and reminders automatically, and when someone texts your number, the AI answers and can book them in.

Agent β†’ SMS Auto-Replies
Prefer to answer texts yourself? Switch off SMS text messages under Agent → Channels — incoming texts still land in your Inbox marked Needs Attention, and automatic texts like confirmations and reminders keep working. The AI just stops replying to conversations.

Automatic texts

  • Booking confirmation — sent the moment an appointment is booked, however it was booked: online, on your booking page, or by phone with your AI. Video bookings include their Google Meet link right in the confirmation.
  • Reminders — sent before the appointment at the lead time you choose (see Reminders and notifications)
  • Change updates — when the AI reschedules or cancels an appointment for a client, they get a text confirming the change

Clients manage bookings by text

Clients can text your number to reschedule or cancel — the AI handles it and your Calendar updates instantly.

Conversations in your inbox

Every text thread lives in Messages. The AI answers questions using everything it knows about your business, and you can jump into any conversation and take over whenever you like.

You choose what goes out

Every automatic text has its own on/off switch under Agent → SMS Auto-Replies — toggle the booking confirmation, reminders, and your post-call summary text independently, set the reminder lead time, and see the exact message each one sends.

When a conversation needs you in person, see Taking over from your AI.
