  • Filled in from the job. Name, date, estimate, deposit and the customer’s own portal link.
  • In your company’s name. From day one, or from your own address once you sign in with Google.
  • One switch per message. Turn any automatic email off with one toggle.

Can I use these templates for free?
Yes. Copy them, change them and send them from any email account — no sign-up needed.
What should a moving confirmation email include?
The date and arrival window, both addresses, the crew size, how to reach you, and a link to the details — so the customer has everything in one place.
When should I send reminders?
Two days before and the day before work well together: the first gives the customer time to prepare, and the second confirms the arrival window.
Should I ask every customer for a review?
Ask a few days after the move, and give them a way to reach you first if something went wrong — it’s better to fix a problem than to read about it.
Can these send automatically?
Yes, in MoveConsole. Each one goes out at its moment with the job’s details filled in, and any of them can be switched off with one toggle.
