Fewer no-shows.
Zero manual effort.
Automated email reminders go out before every appointment. Clients show up prepared, on time, and without you lifting a finger.
Sound familiar?
average no-show rate without reminders
People book and forget. A week later, the appointment comes and goes. You're left with an empty slot and lost revenue. Reminders cut this to single digits.
a week sending manual reminder messages
Texting clients the day before, calling to confirm, sending 'just a reminder' emails. It works, but it doesn't scale. Automation does.
lost per missed appointment on average
An empty slot isn't just lost revenue. It's time you can't get back. A 50-cent email reminder prevents a $200 loss.
Reminders that go out on their own
Every Astrocal booking triggers automatic email reminders at the intervals you choose. Clients get a confirmation at booking, a reminder 24 hours before, and another 1 hour before. No setup per appointment, no manual follow-up.
Email reminders, automatic
Confirmation at booking. Reminder 24 hours before. Reminder 1 hour before. Every appointment, every time. No manual send, no missed reminders.
Calendar attachments included
Every confirmation and reminder includes an ICS calendar attachment. Clients add it to their calendar with one click. The appointment stays visible.
Reschedule and cancel links
Every reminder includes a link to reschedule or cancel. If a client can't make it, they free up the slot automatically instead of just not showing up.
Deposits reinforce commitment
Combine reminders with a deposit requirement via Stripe. Financial commitment plus timely reminders is the most effective way to reduce no-shows.
Syncs with Google Calendar
Bookings appear on your Google Calendar automatically. If a client reschedules via the reminder link, the calendar event updates in real time.
Webhooks on every event
Get notified when a booking is created, cancelled, or rescheduled via webhooks. Push data to Slack, your CRM, or any tool in your stack.
