To access these settings, go to Settings β Messaging.
Review Link
At the top of the page, you can set your review link β a URL you want to send customers for leaving reviews. Once saved, you can insert it into any message template using the {{review_link}} variable. If you ever need to update the URL, changing it here will update it everywhere automatically.
Visit Notifications
Visit Reminders
Send customers an automatic reminder before an upcoming scheduled visit. You can configure:
When the reminder is sent (e.g., 1 day before, 1 hour before)
What is sent β SMS, email, or both
Message content β customizable using job variables
You can add multiple reminders at different intervals. Changes apply to future visits once you click Save.
On My Way
This is the default message that populates when you tap the On My Way button in the app. You can customize the message text, but this notification cannot be turned off.
Visit Created / Scheduled
Sends a message to the customer when a visit is scheduled. Use with caution β if you schedule multiple visits at once (e.g., all visits for a quarterly plan), this will send a separate message for each one. It will not send for created pending jobs.
Visit Rescheduled
Sends a message when a visit is moved to a different time. Use with caution β if you accidentally drag a visit to the wrong slot on the schedule and then move it again, the customer may receive two messages.
Visit Started
Sends a message when you tap Start on a visit, letting the customer know work has begun at their location.
Visit Finished
Sends a message when you mark a visit as finished.
Job Cancelled
Sends a message when a job is cancelled.
Agreements
Agreement Signed
Sent to the customer after they sign an agreement. You can send this as an SMS, an email, or both. The email is branded with your company colors and logo and includes the signed agreement as a PDF attachment. You can customize both the message body and the email subject line.
Agreement Signature Request
Customizes the message sent along with the link when you ask a customer to sign an agreement online.
Agreement Signature Reminders
If a customer hasn't signed after receiving a signature request link, Rotor can automatically follow up. When enabled, you can configure:
How many reminders to send
When each reminder goes out (based on time after the original request)
The message for each reminder
Quotes
Quote Message
Customizes the message sent when you send a quote to a customer. The message is accompanied by a link and a PDF of the quote via email.
Quote Follow-Up
If a customer hasn't accepted, rejected, or requested changes to a quote, Rotor can automatically follow up. You can add multiple follow-up messages at different intervals and customize each one independently.
Invoices
Invoice Message
Customizes the message sent along with an invoice. This notification is always on since invoices are sent manually β you're just controlling the message content.
Receipt Message
Customizes the receipt message sent after a payment is collected.
Invoice Payment Reminders
If a customer hasn't paid an invoice, Rotor can automatically send payment reminders. When enabled, you can configure multiple reminders at different intervals with customized messages for each β helpful for keeping collections on track.
