Smart, Automated Appointment Reminders
Reduce no-shows by up to 50%. Punctual automatically triggers SMS reminders at the perfect moments.
How the Reminder Flow Works
Instant Confirmation (Email/System)
As soon as the appointment is booked, the client receives a professional confirmation message with service details, staff, and a calendar link.
SMS Reminder (24h Before)
An automated SMS is sent 24 hours before the appointment. The message contains booking details and a quick rescheduling or cancellation link so you can recover the slot if they can't attend.
SMS & Email Reminders — The Power of Text
While email is perfect for detailed receipts and booking summaries, SMS boasts a 98% open rate. Punctual uses email for initial booking confirmation and client receipts, and SMS for the high-impact reminder sent 24 hours before the service.
This combination keeps your clients informed without spamming them, while actively prompting action to confirm or change their booking.
Rescheduling Without Calling (Coming Soon)
We are working on including a self-service link in every SMS reminder so clients can reschedule or cancel directly from their phone. For now, your team handles rescheduling requests received via SMS reply or phone.
