How it Works (The Setup)
To get this running, you need three components: the core MotoPress Appointment Booking plugin, the Twilio SMS add-on, and a Twilio account.
-
Connect to Twilio: You’ll copy your Account SID and Auth Token from your Twilio dashboard into the plugin settings in WordPress.
-
Configure Sender: Choose how you want the “From” field to appear (a dedicated Twilio number, a shortcode, or a verified business name).
-
Create Notifications: In the WordPress dashboard under
Appointments > Notifications, you can “Add New” and select SMS as the notification type. -
Set Triggers: Define exactly when the message should fire (e.g., “Immediately after booking” or “2 days before appointment”).
