Q: What happens to existing client and attendance data?

Existing records are used to identify high-risk clients and are updated automatically after each session.

Q: How are exceptions like last-minute cancellations handled?

About This Automation

Session reminder and no-show management involves confirming upcoming appointments, verifying billing status, and contacting clients before each session. Handling this manually across calls, emails, and texts drains staff time and often produces inconsistent, late reminders.

An automated version checks schedules and account status, then sends personalized reminders across channels without manual drafting. It also tracks responses and follows up with anyone who misses a session, reducing missed appointments and freeing staff for higher-value work.

Key features:

Confirm each client's account status before sending a reminder.

Generate personalized reminders that reference the coach and session details.

Deliver reminders across email and text without manual drafting.

Flag clients with a history of missed sessions for extra outreach.

Track confirmation responses and attendance outcomes automatically.

Send reschedule offers to anyone who misses a session.
