How This Automation Works
Appointment Scheduled in Calendar → Customer Receives Timed Reminders
Appointment Scheduled
When a customer books a window or door installation appointment in your scheduling system, the automation captures all relevant details including customer contact information, appointment date and time, service type, and location.
First Reminder Scheduled
The system automatically calculates the timing and schedules the first reminder to be sent 48 hours before the appointment. This reminder includes full appointment details, installer information, and a preparation checklist for the customer.
48-Hour Reminder Sent
Two days before the installation, customers receive an email and SMS reminder with appointment details, preparation instructions (clearing window areas, removing treatments), parking guidance, and easy options to confirm or reschedule if needed.
Final Reminder Delivered
24 hours before the appointment, a concise SMS reminder is sent as a final confirmation, including the installer's name, arrival window, and direct contact number. Customers can confirm attendance with a single click.
Confirmation Tracked
The system monitors customer responses and confirmations, automatically updating your scheduling calendar and alerting your team if a customer hasn't confirmed or requests rescheduling, allowing proactive follow-up for unconfirmed appointments.
How It Works
Window and door installation businesses face significant revenue loss from missed appointments and last-minute cancellations. This automated reminder system sends personalized notifications to customers 48 hours and 24 hours before their scheduled installation, including appointment details, preparation instructions, and installer contact information. The system monitors your scheduling calendar and triggers reminders automatically, eliminating manual follow-up while ensuring customers are prepared and present for their installations. Reduce no-show rates by up to 60% while freeing your team to focus on sales and service delivery instead of administrative tasks.
The Trigger
When a new window or door installation appointment is booked in your scheduling system, the automation immediately captures the customer details, appointment time, and service type to prepare reminder sequences.
The Action
The system sends personalized SMS and email reminders at predetermined intervals (48 hours and 24 hours before appointment), including installation details, preparation checklist, and easy rescheduling options. Customers can confirm attendance with a single click.

Results You Can Expect
Eliminate No-Shows
Automated reminders keep appointments top-of-mind for customers, dramatically reducing costly no-shows that waste installer time and lose revenue. Two-stage reminders catch customers early enough to reschedule rather than simply miss appointments.
Recover Administrative Time
Stop making manual reminder calls and sending individual emails. Your office staff can focus on sales, customer service, and business growth instead of spending hours each week on reminder tasks that can be fully automated.
Improve Schedule Efficiency
When customers confirm or reschedule in advance, you can optimize installation routes and fill cancellation slots quickly. Better schedule management means more completed jobs per day and higher installer productivity.
Enhance Customer Experience
Professional, timely reminders with clear preparation instructions reduce customer anxiety and confusion. Customers appreciate the proactive communication and arrive better prepared, leading to smoother installations and higher satisfaction scores.
