Apptoto
Appointment reminders and client communication tools that work with your existing calendar
About Apptoto
Apptoto is an appointment reminder and client messaging platform that syncs with the calendar you already use, such as Google Calendar, Outlook, Exchange, iCloud, Salesforce, or Clio. It sends automated text, email, and voice reminders, reads client replies to confirm or cancel appointments on your calendar, and adds online booking, two-way messaging, payments, review requests, and campaigns. It targets service businesses like law firms, financial advisors, therapists, healthcare practices, and home services companies.
