This system reduces no-shows by 45% while freeing staff from manual reminder calls.

The Reminder Sequence

Each reminder in the sequence serves a specific purpose. The 7-day reminder gives clients time to plan around the appointment. The 3-day reminder provides preparation instructions including fasting or medication guidance. The 1-day reminder asks for final confirmation with a simple reply — Y to confirm, R to reschedule. Unconfirmed appointments are flagged for waitlist backfill.

  • 7-day reminder: appointment details with date, time, doctor, and location confirmation
  • 3-day reminder: preparation instructions including fasting, medication holds, or sample collection
  • 1-day reminder: final confirmation request with Y to confirm or R to reschedule options
  • Same-day morning reminder for afternoon appointments with parking and entrance details
  • Surgical pre-op reminders with fasting cutoff times sent the evening before procedures
  • Vaccination series reminders ensuring puppy and kitten series completion rates improve
  • Wellness exam reminders sent when annual visits are coming due based on last visit date
  • Unconfirmed appointments flagged for staff review and waitlist backfill processing
  • Cancelled appointment slots immediately offered to waitlisted clients via text notification
  • Rescheduling via text connects the client to AI for immediate rebooking into available slots

Beyond Reminders — Proactive Outreach

CallJolt's reminder system extends beyond scheduled appointments. It proactively reaches out to clients whose pets are due for wellness exams, overdue for vaccinations, or lapsed in preventive care. This proactive outreach drives appointment bookings that clients would not have made on their own — generating revenue from your existing client base.
