What it does

Five things that keep appointments on track.

01

Booking confirm — image header with add-to-calendar button.

02

Prep Flow — checklist section and optional questions.

03

1h stack — reminder plus reschedule Flow CTA.

Deep dive

Why appointment reminders on WhatsApp work.

People miss appointments when reminders are buried or rescheduling is too hard. WhatsApp keeps the decision in one thread.

01 Why no-shows happen

Customers forget, lose the confirmation email, or cannot find a quick way to reschedule when plans change.

  • Silent after "yes" — wire your Flow to the CRM milestone (donation cleared, booking confirmed, ticket closed) and let the thread go quiet the instant the job is done. No duplicate ask, no nudge — one trustworthy conversation people actually open next time.

02 How to enhance it

Add location links, deposit reminders, prep forms, staff alerts, missed-appointment recovery, and attendance scoring.

03 Gotchas

Respect quiet hours, suppress duplicate reminders after reschedule, and keep calendar availability accurate.

The point: the best reminder gives customers a useful action, not just a timestamp.

Proof

What it looks like in the wild

Most cancellations became reschedules instead of empty chairs.
