    Why did they text like an automated service though geez

    “Hey x, can you confirm you are available for our appointment tomorrow at y:zz?”

    Much more personal…

      They likely have a prompt they copy and paste into a text messaging portal. Although it could very well be an automated service that sends those texts, but it is a manual service receiving and verifying the replies.

          I believe it’s still possible through a program; you can send iMessage through an Apple laptop or copy and paste from a notes app on your phone or computer into iMessage and fill in the appointment specifics into the template.

      Gonna chime in here, this is how I text. Even with my friends. There might be a reason why I only have two friends, though

      It could be that the first message was automated, but the second message was not.

      It seems nowadays, when I get appointment reminder texts from various places, the initial text is automated. But then you can reply whatever you want and a human looks at the message and can respond to you.

      I used to send out my reminders by hand and made it very clear, pretty much what you wrote

      I don’t know why you would emulate a script
