About This Automation

Scheduling recurring therapy sessions manually requires staff to check multiple therapist calendars, identify conflicts, and coordinate confirmations across email and calendar systems. This fragmented workflow causes delays, double bookings, and missed reminders.

Automated scheduling checks therapist availability in real time, books sessions across all systems simultaneously, and sends consistent reminders to clients. The result is faster confirmations, zero double bookings, and higher attendance rates.

Create recurring session records in practice management and calendar systems simultaneously
Send automated reminder notifications at consistent intervals before each session
Track no-shows and flag clients who miss appointments for follow-up
Prevent double bookings by locking therapist time across all platforms
Log all session metadata and client details in a single step

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Session Request Receivedtrigger

A client submits a recurring session request via email or intake form. The automation platform detects the request and extracts client name, preferred day, time, and frequency.

2. Check Therapist Availability

The automation queries for all therapists and identifies available slots matching the client's preferences. It checks 12 weeks ahead and flags any conflicts.

3. Create Recurring Session in Acuity

The automation creates a recurring session record with client details, therapist assignment, frequency, and session type. The record is immediately locked to prevent double bookings.

4. Block Time

The automation creates recurring calendar events in the assigned therapist's with all session details and client contact information.

5. Send Confirmation to Client

The automation sends a personalized confirmation email to the client with session details, therapist name, location, and any pre-session instructions. Email is sent within 5 minutes of booking.

6. Schedule Reminder Notifications

The automation schedules reminder emails to be sent automatically 24 hours and 2 hours before each recurring session. Reminders are sent consistently at the same time each week.

7. Notify Team

The automation sends a summary notification to the practice's channel confirming the recurring session has been booked and all reminders are scheduled.
