BookLive automatically sends reminder notifications to your musicians before their performances.
Here’s how it works:
Reminder Schedule
Your musicians receive two automatic reminders for each performance they’re booked for:
- 3 days before the performance
- 1 day before the performance (the day before)
What Gets Sent
The reminders include:
- Your group name
- The performance title
- The performance date (for 3-day reminders)
Example SMS:
“Reminder: You have a performance in 3 days on Dec 15: Extreme Strings: Holiday Concert. To turn
these reminders off, visit booklive.com/settings”
How Musicians Receive Reminders
Each musician controls their own reminder preferences in their BookLive settings. They can choose
to receive: - Email reminders (sent to their BookLive email)
- SMS text reminders (sent to their phone)
- Both
- Neither (if they prefer to manage their own calendar)
For SMS messages: BookLive intelligently uses their group-specific phone number (if they’ve
provided one for your group) or falls back to their personal phone number.
Important Notes - Only confirmed musicians receive reminders (musicians who have been assigned to seats)
- Canceled or postponed performances don’t send reminders
- Musicians control their preferences – you don’t need to manage this
- No action needed from you – this all happens automatically
Musicians Can Opt Out
If a musician doesn’t want to receive these reminders, they can turn them off at any time by:
- Visiting booklive.com/settings
- Toggling off “Performance Reminder Emails” or “Performance Reminder SMS”
This ensures your musicians always know when they have upcoming performances, without you having to manually remind everyone!
