SMS reminders for Google Calendar appointments in Australia
Google Calendar can remind you about your own events, but it does not text clients before an appointment. Etisia adds the missing SMS layer on top: keep using Google Calendar, add a phone number or matched contact to the event, and Etisia handles confirmations, reminders, cancellation links, and follow-up messages automatically.
No booking-system switch. No calendar migration. No new app for clients.
