How to Create Own SMS Template for Gift Voucher in MioSalon?

Modified on Mon, 27 Jul at 6:39 PM



Overview


If the default SMS templates in the repository do not match your business communication style, you can create a custom SMS template for gift voucher notifications. 

Custom templates give you full control over the message content, allowing you to include your brand voice, specific terms, and relevant voucher details using dynamic placeholder tags. 

Once created, your custom template is saved under "Your Templates" and can be assigned to any gift voucher.
