Monitor Appointment Calendar
The system continuously monitors your scheduling software for new and existing appointments scheduled 24 or more hours in the future. It captures all relevant details including customer contact information, service type, appointment time, and assigned technician.
Calculate Reminder Timing
For each qualifying appointment, the system calculates the precise time to send the reminder—exactly 24 hours before the scheduled service. It accounts for time zones, business hours preferences, and customer communication preferences to optimize delivery timing.
Generate Personalized Message
The system creates a customized reminder message using your branded template, incorporating the customer's name, appointment details, service type, technician information, and relevant preparation instructions. The message is formatted appropriately for the selected delivery channel (SMS, email, or both).
Deliver Reminder Notification
At the calculated time, the system automatically sends the reminder through the customer's preferred communication channel. The message includes interactive elements allowing customers to confirm, reschedule, or contact your office directly from the notification.
Track Response and Update Records
The system monitors customer responses, recording confirmations, reschedule requests, or cancellations in your scheduling software. This real-time tracking helps you identify potential schedule gaps early and optimize technician routing for confirmed appointments.
