Connect Google Form responses to Lido

Connect your Google Form responses to Lido's spreadsheet with one-click.

Calculate appointment reminder dates in Lido's spreadsheet

Set up custom SMS text triggers around the appointment date. Use basic spreadsheet formulas to calculate reminder dates.

‍

For example, if the appointment date is in column B and you want to send a reminder email 3 days before, the formula would be:

=B2-3

Trigger appointment reminder text if today's date equals the appointment reminder date

You can include details from each Google Form submission, like the customer's name and appointment time, in the body of the email.

=IF(TODAY()=C2, SENDSMS(<sender-number>, "+18293821192", "Appointment reminder", "[Name], your appointment is in 3 days")
