## Does Acuity Scheduling support SMS waitlists for group classes?

Acuity's native waitlist support focuses on one-on-one appointments. Aculio is designed for group classes, workshops, studios, clinics, and other capacity-based sessions where a canceled seat needs to be filled fast.

## Can Acuity send more than one SMS reminder per appointment?

Native Acuity SMS workflows are limited. Aculio is built to support multi-step transactional sequences like booking confirmations, 48-hour reminders, 3-hour final nudges, and post-visit follow-ups.

## Can clients reply to Acuity text messages?

Acuity's native text messages can create reply friction. Aculio is architected around real business-owned SMS inboxes so teams can handle late arrivals, questions, and quick changes without losing the conversation.

## Does Aculio replace Acuity Scheduling?

No. Aculio is an add-on for businesses that already like Acuity but need stronger SMS and waitlist automation without switching to a large studio-management platform.

## How does Aculio avoid Acuity's waitlist blast problem?

Aculio sends rolling FIFO offers for open class seats, so the first eligible waitlisted client gets the claim opportunity before the offer moves on.

## Does Aculio handle international SMS edge cases?

Aculio validates E.164 formatting, blocks known unsupported destinations before send, and prevents hyperlink SMS to Turkey where A2P links are blocked.
