A friendly text message from Bookedin will help your clients stay organized and drastically reduce no-shows. Bookedin's automated text message appointment reminders system sends out five different kinds of text messages / SMS to your clients:

1. Immediately when appointment gets booked:

2. X days prior to appointment reminder:

you can edit which day in your settings (see below)
clients can reply "YES" to confirm
clients can reply "NO" to cancel, but this part of the message will only appear if you allow cancellations
once confirmed, a check ✔ mark will appear in your calendar
if your client cancels, they'll see a link to reschedule and you'll receive a notification. All cancellations get tracked on the client's profile.

If you do not allow cancellations prior to your appointments your:

clients can reply "YES" to confirm
call "your business number" to reschedule or cancel
if your business number is not listed/missing on your online business page they will be asked to email your business to reschedule or cancel

3. If the appointment gets rescheduled

4. If the appointment gets cancelled

5. A few hours prior to appointment reminder:

Note: the "hours prior" text reminder is sent to your client depending on the start-time of their appointment. We designed our system to send out the text at 3 convenient times: early in the morning (but not too early!), during lunch, and after dinner. Here's how those 3 batches work:

8:00am reminder: for appointments between 1:00pm - 6:59pm TODAY
12:15pm reminder: for appointments booked between 7:00pm - 11:59pm TODAY
7:00pm reminder: for appointments between 12:00am - 12:59pm NEXT DAY
