# Availability reminder

Our availability reminder feature has been built to remind your members of a work day tomorrow. Once set up the platform will send out messages on a daily basis and is fully automated.

## Settings

**Membership reminder text message enabled?**: Do you want to use this feature?

**Only first workday**: Do we only send a message if tomorrow is the first work day of this member? The next work days no message will be sent.

**Only if at least one shift**: Do we only send a message if the member has at least one [work shift](/event/planning/members/shifts.md) tomorrow?

**Message**: The actual content of the message that will be sent.

{% hint style="success" %}
This text area supports [variables](/event/misc/variables.md).
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
The event carries the responsibility to make a guess on the length of the message and thereby how many message segments will be sent. To help calculate, use [this](https://twiliodeved.github.io/message-segment-calculator/) tutorial.
{% endhint %}

**Days**: Pick the days a message should be sent. If a day is unchecked, we won't send a message if the person has to work that day.

Once set up, the platform will send the messages the day before a work day at noon(ish).

## Text messages

This page shows you a list of sent messages and their [status](/event/communication/text-messages/bulk.md#recipients).
