How reminders work
When you book a job and assign it a scheduled date and time, Revenue Sol can automatically reach out to the customer on the contact details attached to their record. Reminders use your connected channels: text messages go out through your own Twilio or RingCentral number, and emails are sent from your business identity. Because you bring your own phone number, the SMS portion is billed at carrier cost with no markup. Each reminder is tied to the job, so if you reschedule or cancel, the messaging stays in sync with the appointment.Confirmations and reminder timing
There are two kinds of messages you can send:- Confirmations go out shortly after the job is booked, so the customer immediately has the date, time, and arrival window in writing.
- Reminders go out before the appointment to keep it top of mind and give the customer a chance to confirm or reschedule.
Send an instant confirmation
Right after booking, so the appointment lands in the customer’s inbox or texts.
Send a day-ahead reminder
A reminder the day before (for example, 24 hours out) is the highest-impact single message for reducing no-shows.
The impact on no-shows
Confirmations and reminders work because most no-shows aren’t intentional — people forget, double-book, or lose the original appointment text. A written confirmation plus a timely reminder gives the customer two easy moments to either lock in or reschedule early, which means you can backfill the slot instead of losing the day. When a customer replies to a reminder, the message lands in your unified inbox alongside calls, texts, email, and web-form leads, so your team can confirm or rebook in the same conversation. Your AI Employee can even handle routine replies automatically.Reminder activity and rescheduling show up in your reports, so you can track how reminders affect your completed-job and no-show rates over time.
