Why car dealers and workshops ask this
Service reminders go out by post and get thrown away. It usually surfaces the first time a real list goes out, when service due notices, MOT reminders and pickup messages stop being a plan and become a send.
What it changes for you
Get this right and the outcome is a service book that fills itself. Get it wrong and the cost shows up quietly, in messages nobody read and money already spent.
Doing it in the platform
The compose screen shows the segment count, the cost and the sender name before anything leaves, so the decision is made before the money moves.
