RW Texting allows a car rental company to send text messages to their customers’ mobile phone for:

Please note that this is an add-on module and per text fees apply.  There are also additional set-up requirements. Please see the RW Texting Setup Guide.


'''Fields'''

Type ID - Enter the Type ID you wish to modify:

1)	upcoming reservations

2)	rental agreements that are due to check-in soon

3)	rental agreements that are past their scheduled check-in date

4)	to thank them for their business after a vehicle has checked in

Description - The Description of the Type ID.

Last Updated/By - The date and time the Type ID record was updated, and by which employee.

Process Timing - Enter the desired values (which differ based on the Type ID).

Default Message - Enter an appropriate Type ID message.  Keep it to 160 characters or less.  The following  “fill-in” fields can be used by the module to fill in data from the reservation or contract:

:%FirstName%

:%LastName%	

:%ContractNumber%

:%ConfirmationNumber%	

:%PickUpDate%	

:%PickUpTime%

:%PickUpLocationName%	

:%DueBackDate%
	
:%DueBackTime%

:%DueBackLocationName%	

:%CompanyName% - pulled from the pick up Location’s record.	

:%CompanyPhone% - pulled from the pick up Location’s record.

Last Run/Runtime Message - Once a text message is sent to the renter, a tag is stored with the reservation/contract showing the date a message was last sent.  This prevents a Renter from receiving a text message every hour for the same transaction.  As the LastSent tag is tied to the reservation/contract, this still allows the renter to receive messages if they are on other reservations or contracts.  The processes will send messages every two days, if the transaction calls for it.
