# How to Configure SMS Notifications for Events and Individual Programs?

Learn how to manage SMS notification settings for Events and 1:1 Programs in CoachVantage so you can have more granular control for specific events and 1:1 programs

## **Overview**

In CoachVantage, you can easily enable SMS notifications for your events so that both you and your clients receive timely text reminders about upcoming sessions. This feature helps reduce no-shows, improves communication, and keeps everyone on the same page.

Depending on the type of appointment you’re managing—**Events** or **1:1 Programs**—you can control whether SMS notifications are sent when sessions are booked. For Events and 1:1 Programs, you can enable or disable SMS notifications directly within each event or program’s scheduling settings, respectively.

Currently, SMS notifications for **Group Coaching Programs** are managed based on your global notification preferences in **My Settings**, rather than at the individual program level.

This article walks you through how to configure SMS notifications for Events and 1:1 Programs in your CoachVantage account, ensuring you have granular control about whether to send SMS notifications for individual events and programs. 

**IMPORTANT**: SMS notification settings at the individual Event and 1:1 Program level **take precedence** over your global SMS settings. 

For example: if your global setting is configured to send SMS notifications to clients but your setting at the individual Event level is not to send SMS notifications, then clients who have signed up for this specific event will not receive the SMS notification for appointments relating to this event booking.
