The client has booked an appointment, completed a sale, or filled out a form within the last two years.

Yes, clients can reply to flow texts. You can use the Messages app to see a complete history of the flow messages a client has received.
Link copiedCan I manually remove a client from a flow run?
Yes, if a client hasn't completed a flow run yet, you can manually remove them from the flow run. This can be helpful if a client no longer wants to receive messages related to a flow.

Link copiedHow does the time delay step work?
Time delay steps allow you to wait for a number of hours, days, or weeks before completing the next step in a flow.
For example, you may want to wait two days (48 hours) after a client completes their appointment before sending them a message.
Time delay steps include the following settings:
Wait until certain day of the week: Enable this toggle to select the days when you’d like to complete the next step. For example, you may prefer to send text messages Monday through Saturday when your business is open.
Wait until certain time of day: Enable this toggle to select the time when you’d like to complete the next step. For example, you may prefer to wait until 10 AM to start sending text messages to clients.
Keep in mind that your time delay may increase if you use the settings above.
For example, if you wait 3 days before sending a text, the client might not receive that text until 5 days later if the following is true:
The client completes their appointment on Monday at 1 PM.
Wait 3 days and wait until Saturday at 10 AM.
Send the client a text message. The client will receive this text message on Saturday at 10 AM (5 days later).
