## 1. Introduction
The **Next Visits** feature is designed to automate notifications, letting your upcoming customers know that you are on your way. This ensures smooth communication and better preparation for your arrival.
You can choose exactly how many upcoming customers receive this message, customize the content, and decide whether to send it via email or SMS.
## 2. Initial Configuration
Your first step is to define how you will notify your upcoming customers.

* If you enter **one**, the email is sent to the next customer.
* If you enter **two**, the email is sent to the next two customers.
* If you enter **three** (or any number you wish), the email is sent to that number of customers.
