## Quick answer

Below are practical SMS and email templates for deliveries: order confirmation, 24‑hour notice, ETA SMS and post‑delivery feedback. Use them in your ERP, TMS or CRM. Replace variables like {{Recipient}}, {{OrderID}}, {{ETA}} and {{Address}} to match your process.

## When to send each message

Define clear triggers: send confirmation immediately after booking. Send 24‑hour notice one day before delivery. Send ETA SMS 60–30 minutes before arrival. Send feedback request 1–2 hours after delivery. Short, predictable intervals help recipients.

## Personalisation and required details

Include variables: {{Recipient}}, {{OrderID}}, {{Date}}, {{ETA}} and {{DeliveryAddress}}. Always provide a clear contact option. Avoid marketing content in delivery messages. Keep the tone professional for B2B customers.

## Template: Order confirmation (Email)
