Reminders

Appointment reminders clients can answer in a tap.

An empty chair costs a provider's hour. A reminder the day before, with a way to confirm or move the appointment in one reply, keeps the day full and the front desk off the phone.

Call 1-844-792-3552 and interview her like you would a front desk hire.

Confirmed. See you tomorrow at 2:30 PM, Priya.

In short

Bella texts each client a reminder the day before her appointment, with the treatment, the provider and the time, and a quick reply to confirm. If a client needs to move the appointment, she can reschedule in the same thread. Reminders are included when Bella runs your appointment book.

In detail

How it works, part by part.

What the reminder says

Each reminder has what a client needs and nothing she doesn't.

  • Your clinic's name, so she knows who it is from.
  • The treatment, the provider and the date and time.
  • A way to confirm with a quick reply.
  • A way to reschedule, in the same thread.

Rescheduling without a phone call

A client who can't make it replies and Bella offers other openings with the same provider. She moves the booking in your calendar and confirms. Your front desk sees the new time and doesn't have to chase anyone.

First-time clients get their intake form

When a new client books, Bella texts your intake form so the paperwork is done before she arrives. The first visit starts on time instead of with a clipboard.

Your policy, said the same way every time

If your clinic has a cancellation policy, Bella states it as you wrote it when a client asks about moving or cancelling. For wording ideas to use in your own messages, see the front desk library.

When Bella runs your book

Reminders come from the appointment book. When Bella runs yours, she sends them. If you keep your own booking software, it keeps sending its own reminders and Bella doesn't send a second set, so nobody gets texted twice.

What it doesn't do

Reminders depend on the appointment book, so they come with the build where Bella runs your book. We don't publish a no-show reduction figure, because we haven't measured one that we can stand behind yet.

Questions about reminders

What is a med spa appointment reminder system?

It is a set of automatic texts that remind clients of upcoming visits and let them confirm or reschedule. Bella sends them the day before, from your clinic's number.

When are reminders sent?

The day before the appointment, with the treatment, provider and time.

Can clients reschedule from the reminder?

Yes. They reply and Bella offers other openings with the same provider, then moves the appointment and confirms.

I keep my own booking software. Will clients get two reminders?

No. If you keep your software, it keeps sending its own reminders and Bella doesn't send a second set.

Will this stop no-shows?

Reminders help clients remember and make rescheduling easy. We don't promise a number, because every clinic is different.

Where can I find wording for my own reminders?

In the front desk library, which has reminder, cancellation and no-show texts to copy.
