An automated engine that cuts no-shows by reminding clients 24 hours and 2 hours before their appointment, with duplicate-proof tracking.

Step by step, in pictures

See the automation in action — these are demonstration captures of the working project, so you know exactly what you'd get.

  1. 1

    The workflow

    It reads the appointments, computes the time left, and sends reminders 24h and 2h before.

    A simple sheet or calendar feeds the whole flow — cancelled slots are skipped, no one is reminded twice.

The problem

No-shows cost service businesses real money, and manual reminders don't scale across a busy calendar.

The approach

  1. 1

    An hourly scheduler reads the appointments sheet and computes the time until each booking.

  2. 2

    It sends a reminder in two windows (~24h and ~2h before) and marks each one sent, so reminders never double-fire.

  3. 3

    Cancelled appointments are skipped; the whole flow is idempotent and safe to run continuously.

Highlights

  • Fewer no-shows with zero manual effort.
  • Idempotent by design — never sends a reminder twice.
  • Drops into any business with a simple appointments sheet.
