Appointment Reminder

SMS and email reminders for Canadian clinics and salons: the client will get a reminder and reply to confirm or cancel, and the front desk will see the answer.

Tell us you want it

Reminders will go only to clients who agreed to receive them.

What it will do

The plan, from the reminder to the front desk.

  1. Before the visit

    A reminder goes out

    It will send each client a short SMS or email before the appointment, at the times your clinic or salon chooses.

  2. The reply

    Confirm or cancel by reply

    Clients will answer the reminder itself, with no account and no app to install.

  3. At the desk

    Every answer in one place

    Each reply will appear beside its booking, so the front desk knows who is coming and which spaces opened up.

  4. In every message

    Only what it needs

    The time, the place and how to change it. Planned: the desk reads the full message, as the client will see it, before anything is sent.

Who it is for

Businesses that run on booked time.

Health clinics

Physiotherapy, dental, chiropractic, massage and other clinics, where a missed visit leaves a gap in the day.

Salons and spas

Hair, nails and skin bookings, where a reply that says "cancel" frees a chair for someone else.

Practitioners on their own

Therapists and others who work alone and answer their own phone between clients.

Want it when it opens?

Useful to tell us: the kind of clinic or salon, how you book appointments, and whether your clients prefer SMS or email.

No list, no newsletter: we use your email only to reply to you.

Questions

Is Appointment Reminder available now?

Not yet. It is in preparation and has no opening date.

What will a reminder say, and what will it never say?

The time, the place and how to change the appointment. Never a diagnosis, a treatment or the reason for the visit, and never a promotion: a reminder stays a reminder. It will go only to clients who agreed to receive reminders.

Does our clinic's privacy duty pass to the service?

No. Your clinic stays responsible for its clients' information under the privacy law that applies to it. In Ontario, for example, a health information custodian keeps its duties under PHIPA when it uses an outside provider (Ontario's privacy commissioner explains). Appointment Reminder is being built to help you meet those duties: the minimum in each message, each client's consent on record, and plain answers about what it keeps.

What happens to my email?

It arrives as one message to the team. We use it to reply to you, add it to no list and share it with no one.

Who is behind it?

Digital Real Estate, which prepares online businesses on the domains it owns.
