Reminders

Enable notification templates

Confirm SMS/email templates and channels your shop uses. Reminders attach to real appointments—not a separate spreadsheet of phone numbers.

Timing

Send reminders early enough to reschedule inside your cancel window (often ~48 hours). A reminder after the forfeit window only creates arguments.

Deposit states on the appointment — pending through forfeited/refunded.

When someone still misses

Mark no-show, apply deposit policy, offer waitlist. Reminders reduce volume; they do not replace deposits.
