Wix Automations: Sending an SMS to Customers Using Pre-Installed Automations

4 min read
Reach customers on the go and save time manually reminding them about appointments and orders by sending an automated SMS (text) message. Activate a pre-installed automation from your site's dashboard that sends an SMS message when your customers trigger the automation.
For example, if a customer performs the automation trigger 'books a session' they will get an SMS reminder 24 hours before the session begins. The SMS message comes from a generic Wix phone number.

Managing your SMS quota

Your monthly SMS quota is determined by:
  • The number of texts included in your site plan.
  • The number of texts included in any standalone SMS plan you've purchased.
Both plans affect your quota. For example, you could have 200 texts included in your site plan and an additional 500 texts included in your SMS plan. You can view the number of texts included in your current plan(s) in Manage Your Quotas in Automations.

To manage your Wix SMS quota:

  1. Go to Automations in your site's dashboard
  2. Click Manage Your Quotas next to Your automations.
  3. Choose what to do next:
    • View your available SMS quota under SMS sent.
    • Click Upgrade SMS Plan to view the SMS plans available and select an alternative one.
