So here are a few things that you can do to make sure you get those all important emails from the team here at SimplyBook.me.

You can expect system notifications such as when your subscription is up for renewal, notices about bookings, and helpful information on various things such as how to get the most out of your SimplyBook.me service.

Please whitelist any emails that come from the @simplybook.me domain.

Why? Because that tells your email service or program that you actually want emails from this domain, so that they can then make sure you get them.

How? Well, this differs between email services and programs but below you can see information about some of the main ones. If you aren’t using one of these, please refer to the help section for your service for information.
