  • Instant booking confirmations
  • Automatic email reminders
  • Optional SMS reminders
  • Configurable reminder timing
  • Cancellation and reschedule notifications
  • One calendar for booking changes

Confirm the booking immediately

Send a confirmation as soon as an appointment is created so customers have a written record of the service, date and time.

Remind customers before the appointment

Use automatic email and SMS reminders before the booking so customers are less likely to forget.

Choose useful reminder timing

Configure SMS reminders such as 24 hours, 2 hours or 1 hour before an appointment to match how your business works.

Keep reschedules accurate

When the appointment changes, WAppoint keeps the booking record updated so notifications follow the current booking details.

Reduce staff follow-up

Automated notifications replace repetitive reminder calls and manual messages, freeing staff to focus on customers.

Use email and SMS together

Email provides detailed booking information while SMS can handle shorter, time-sensitive reminders.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best way to reduce appointment no-shows?

A practical approach is to confirm the booking immediately, send a reminder before the appointment, make booking details easy to find, and keep customers informed when a booking changes.

Can SMS reminders help with no-shows?

SMS is useful for short, time-sensitive reminders close to the appointment because the message reaches the customer directly on their phone.

Should I send email reminders as well?

Email works well for detailed confirmations and appointment information. Many businesses use email together with SMS rather than relying on one channel only.

Can reminder timing be changed?

WAppoint supports configurable SMS reminder timing such as 24 hours, 2 hours or 1 hour before an appointment.
