New: Booking Texts and a 6pm Reminder the Evening Before

Members now get a text the moment they book — boat, date and start time at a glance — plus a reminder at 6pm the evening before their session.

Email confirmations are easy to lose in a busy inbox. From this week, members who opt in to SMS booking alerts get two texts that do the remembering for them.

The booking text

The moment a booking is confirmed, the member gets a short text with the boat name, the date, and the slot with its start time. Nothing to open, nothing to search for — the details sit in their messages, ready for a quick glance on the pontoon.

The evening-before reminder

At 6pm the evening before every booking, a reminder goes out: the boat, tomorrow's date, and a nudge to cancel in the app if plans have changed. Clubs that also use email reminders keep those too — the existing "24hr reminder" setting now drives a matching email at the same time.

The details

  • Opt-in first — texts only go to members who have SMS booking alerts switched on in their profile, and who have a mobile number on file.
  • One text, not three — every message is kept within a single standard SMS, so costs stay predictable.
  • From your club's name — texts arrive from your club's sender name, not an anonymous number.

There's nothing to configure — if your members are opted in, it's already working.
