The Problem

Scheduling meetings involves 3-5 back-and-forth emails per appointment. Admin staff spend 5-10 hours per week coordinating calendars, handling reschedules, and sending reminders. No-show rates are high because reminders are inconsistent or sent too late.

The Solution

Automated scheduling lets prospects and clients book directly into available calendar slots. The system sends confirmation emails, calendar invites, SMS/email reminders at configured intervals, handles reschedules, and updates your CRM with meeting details automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are reminders sent?

Reminders go out via email and optionally SMS at intervals you define, typically 24 hours and 1 hour before the meeting. Custom reminder messages can include preparation instructions or agendas.
