## How to get it approved

Because it invites a booking not yet made, treat it as marketing and include opt-out. Use last service date to show relevance.

## Message text

Hi {{first_name}}, your {{vehicle}} is due for its {{interval}} service. Regular maintenance keeps it safe and protects resale value. Book a slot that fits your week.
Reply STOP to opt out

## Variables

- `{{first_name}}`: Paul
- `{{vehicle}}`: Ford Focus
- `{{interval}}`: 30,000 mile
