B. Enable the Reminder Email and SMS Notification

Once you have set up the timer for your reminder, it's time to edit the content of your reminder templates.
Navigate to the Communications option from list. Next click on In-Person or Virtual Reminder tab.
Under Reminder, you will find the reminder email and SMS. Make sure that you toggle the appointment reminder on to enable this function.
Under Snippets, you will find the format for certain terms. Make sure that you follow this format since Aesthetic Record depends on the format to automate your appointment reminder correctly.
For instance, if you want to put in Patient Name to indicate where the patient name is on the reminder, use the format {{PATIENTNAME}} for patient name. 
Now, edit the content of the email and SMS in the textboxes.
