Send reminders at the right moments, make rescheduling easy, and ask for a deposit or card where a missed slot costs you.
For anyone asking: How do I stop clients from missing appointments?
Each one's way of doing it, and the point where it stops.
Automations send email and SMS reminders before each meeting and follow-ups after it, and can email an invitee marked as a no-show to rebook. Where it stops: Free has no automated reminders; the cancellation policy is shown, not enforced.
Takes upfront payment or holds a card through Stripe or PayPal and captures a no-show fee if the client misses; workflows send custom email, SMS or WhatsApp reminders. Where it stops: Free sends only the default reminder email, with no customization.
Sends an email reminder for every appointment automatically, at the timing you set, and asks clients to accept your cancellation policy with a checkbox at booking. Where it stops: Free sends one email reminder and no SMS or deposits; no waitlist to refill a canceled slot.
Sends confirmation, reminder and follow-up emails on its own, adds text reminders on higher plans, and takes a deposit, full payment or a card on file at booking. Where it stops: The trial sends no emails or texts; Starter has a single email reminder.
Emails every booker one day and one hour before on all plans; paid plans let you set your own two reminder times and charge one flat cancellation or no-show fee on a Stripe booking type. Where it stops: No deposits or partial payments; SMS only to US and Canadian numbers.
Sends customizable reminder emails and texts, with reschedule and cancel links in every confirmation so clients move a slot instead of skipping it. Where it stops: Free has no reminders; SMS is pay-as-you-go on every plan; no deposit feature.
Workflows email reminders and follow-ups at five points around the meeting, and a per-link lock stops last-minute rescheduling or canceling. Where it stops: Email only, no native SMS; canceled paid meetings are not refunded automatically.
