The starting problem
No-shows cost service businesses real money, and manual reminders don't scale across a busy calendar.
The system in pictures
Screenshots of the system at work, step by step: what your customer sees, and what your team receives.
- 1.
The workflow
It reads the appointments, computes the time left, and sends reminders 24h and 2h before.
- 2.
The reminder the client gets
A clear reminder with the exact slot, in the client's language.
- 3.
The appointments source
A simple sheet or calendar feeds the whole flow: cancelled slots are skipped, no one is reminded twice.
How it works
What we built
- 1
An hourly scheduler reads the appointments sheet and computes the time until each booking.
- 2
It sends a reminder in two windows (~24h and ~2h before) and marks each one sent, so reminders never double-fire.
- 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.
