Stop no-shows with timed confirmation flows

When confirmations are inconsistent, high-value appointments vanish without warning. TextSavy helps teams run calm, repeatable reminder sequences that keep chairs full.

Reminders are sent too late or not at all.
Guests are not asked to confirm, so risk goes unflagged.
Manual follow-up steals time from the front desk.

The Fix Checklist

A repeatable workflow to solve this permanently.

Tier reminders by service length and value.

Add confirmation prompts to every reminder.

Trigger same-day prompts for high-risk appointments.

Track confirmation rate weekly and refine timing.
