I will build an automated appointment reminder system that reduces no shows


Level 1
About this gig
Every empty chair is money you already spent. Staff scheduled, room ready, and the client just didn't show. At $100 to $200 per appointment, a business with 10 no-shows a week is losing thousands every month. Not to competitors. To silence.
I build the system that fills those chairs back up:
- Automatic reminders by SMS and email at the intervals that work: booking confirmation, 48 hours out, 24 hours out, morning of
- One-tap confirm and reschedule links so a client who can't make it rebooks instead of vanishing
- Escalation logic: no response to the first reminder triggers the next one, so nobody falls through
- Calendar sync with your existing booking system, and a log of every reminder sent and every response
It runs on your accounts, so you own it completely. No monthly fee to me.
Why me: 25 years in enterprise infrastructure, currently supporting systems for 120,000+ users at a global financial firm. Anthropic Claude Certified Architect (Foundations). I design systems, not hacks.

FAQ
What booking systems does this work with?
Cal.com, Calendly, Acuity, Google Calendar, and most systems with an API or calendar feed. Message me with what you use and I'll confirm before you order.
Do I need my own Twilio account for SMS?
Yes, and I'll set it up with you during the build, it takes about 10 minutes. SMS costs run through your account directly, typically a penny or two per message, so there's no middleman markup.
Can I customize the reminder messages?
Completely. We write them together in your voice during the build, and you can change them yourself anytime afterward. I'll show you how in the handoff video.
What happens when a client clicks reschedule?
They land on your real-time booking calendar and pick a new slot. The system updates your calendar, logs the change, and cancels the remaining reminders for the old time.
Will this spam my clients?
No. Every sequence stops the moment someone confirms, and clients can opt out with one reply. Fewer, smarter messages beat more messages every time.
Is this HIPAA compliant for medical practices?
Standard reminder content (date, time, location) is fine under HIPAA's appointment reminder provisions. If you need BAA-covered infrastructure or want treatment details in messages, message me first and we'll scope that separately.
What does this cost to run monthly?
Runs on your own accounts, no fee to me. You'll need a Make.com Core account (entry paid plan), Twilio for SMS, plus the email and calendar you already have. I set it all up with you. One prevented no-show typically covers months of running costs.
