A no-show costs you the hour, the drive and the job. Most no-shows aren't rude. They forgot.

Reminders cut the forgetting. A friendly reschedule text brings many of the rest back. Set it up once and it runs on every appointment.

What you'll have

  • A confirmation when someone books
  • Reminders a day before and an hour before
  • A reschedule text when someone misses
  • A clear record of who showed and who didn't

Have these ready

  • A calendar set up for bookings
  • Approved texting registration
  • Your cancellation and reschedule policy

Here's exactly how.

  1. 1

    Confirm every booking

    In Automation, create a workflow triggered when an appointment is booked. Send a text and email with the date, time, address and what to bring.

  2. 2

    Remind them twice

    Add reminders 24 hours and 1 to 2 hours before the appointment. Ask them to reply C to confirm.

  3. 3

    Mark appointments after they happen

    Have your team mark each appointment as showed or no-show. It takes seconds in the calendar or the mobile app.

  4. 4

    Trigger on no-show

    Create a workflow triggered when an appointment's status changes to no-show. Send a friendly text with a link to rebook.

  5. 5

    Follow up again

    If they haven't rebooked in two days, send one more text, then create a task for someone to call.

  6. 6

    Watch the numbers

    Check your show rate monthly. If it drops, test a different reminder time or message.

Tips from our team

  • Make the reschedule text kind. People who feel judged don't rebook.
  • A booking link in every reminder makes rescheduling easier than skipping.
  • Deposits at booking cut no-shows further for high-value appointments.
