 * Hi, I have set up a 30 minute buffer between appointments, but it doesn’t seem
   to be translating to the scheduling calendar.
 * Also, is there a way to get a text notification? with the paid version, perhaps?
 * Thanks,

 * Hello [@toodles53562](https://wordpress.org/support/users/toodles53562/)
 * I believe there might be some confusion with the buffer settings. When a buffer
   is set, it won’t immediately show in the booking calendars time slots.
 * But, when someone books an appointment it’ll then block out the time of the duration
   + buffers and remove any time slots that interfere with that booking.
 * And, we do offer SMS Notifications in the Professional and Business editions,
   here’s a guide to walk you through the set up [https://ssappts.com/guides/sms-notifications/](https://ssappts.com/guides/sms-notifications/)
 * Let me know if you have other questions 🙂
