🔔 Visit Reminders

Automated Visit Reminders
for Your Customers

Keep your customers informed with automated email reminders before every scheduled maintenance visit. Configure timing, select recipients, and customise professional email templates — all from within PPM.

How Visit Reminders Work

Reminders are configured per schedule and sent automatically before each upcoming maintenance visit. No manual follow-ups needed.

⚙️

Enable Per Schedule

Turn on visit reminders for any schedule. Choose the contact who should receive them and set how many days before each visit the reminder is sent — 7, 14, or 30 days in advance.

📧

Automatic Email Delivery

PPM checks daily for upcoming visits and sends professional reminder emails at the configured timing. Each email includes the visit date, site address, schedule description, and your company branding.

👥

Select the Right Contact

Choose from the site's contacts in ServiceM8. The reminder goes directly to the person who needs to know — a facility manager, building owner, or on-site contact.

Customisable Email Templates

Professional teal-themed reminder emails that represent your brand. Customise the content with dynamic placeholders.

TEMPLATE FEATURES

Professional Email Design

Reminder emails use a clean, professional teal-themed design that looks great on desktop and mobile. Your company name appears prominently so customers know exactly who the reminder is from.

  • Teal-themed responsive email layout
  • Company branding with your business name
  • Customisable subject line and body text
  • Managed via Notification Settings page
DYNAMIC PLACEHOLDERS

Personalised Content

Use placeholders to automatically insert visit-specific details into every reminder email. Each email is personalised with the correct dates, addresses, and descriptions.

  • Company name — your business identity
  • Site address — where the visit takes place
  • Visit date — the scheduled service date
  • Schedule description — type of maintenance
  • Contact name — personalised greeting

Frequently Asked Questions

How do automated visit reminders work?

Visit reminders are configured per schedule. When enabled, PPM automatically sends an email to the selected contact a configurable number of days before each scheduled maintenance visit. The system checks daily for upcoming visits and sends reminders at the timing you specify.

Can I customise the reminder email content?

Yes. PPM includes a professional teal-themed email template with your company branding. You can customise the subject line and body text using dynamic placeholders like company name, site address, visit date, and schedule description. Templates are managed in Notification Settings.

How do I choose who receives the reminder?

When enabling reminders on a schedule, you select a contact from the site's contacts in ServiceM8. The reminder email is sent directly to that contact's email address. Each schedule can have its own designated reminder recipient.

Can I configure when reminders are sent?

Yes. You set the number of days before a visit that the reminder should be sent — for example, 7 days, 14 days, or 30 days before. This is configured per schedule, so different maintenance types can have different lead times.
