Getting Set Up with Textel + SalonBiz
Textel Sign Up Process Overview
When you sign up for Textel integration, Textel will take your business phone and provision it with for SMS/MMS. This process allows you to send and receive text messages from your business number. Provisioning a line can take up to 72 business hours or 3 business days depending on your provider.
Once your line is provisioned, you will receive a welcome email from Textel confirming setup. Shortly thereafter you will receive a series of emails that will help guide you through the set up processes.
You will then log-in to Textel and perform a few steps to activate your account for Textel and SalonBiz. You will also configure your appointment reminders, confirmations and visit follow-up texts. Please reach out to SalonBiz for support with your confirmation and reminder setup.
