GReminders lets you have your customers confirm Appointments by either replying YES to your SMS Text Reminder<\/a> notifications or using the Confirmation Links<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what if your customer calls in or is on the phone with you and just confirms the appointment? How will you tell the system that they did this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now you can, with Manual Confirmation Actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go to any Event Detail Page that is not Confirmed or Declined and you will see a dotted button<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Simply click on the Manual Confirm or Decline and you will see the same Checkmark or X on the Event Subject. AND if you have Calendar Status Writeback<\/a> enabled to your Calendar you will see this in your Google or Outlook Calendar as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Used in conjunction with sending additional notifications when an Appointment is not confirmed<\/a> you have a very powerful notification system for your clients, reducing No Shows and increasing Revenue and Client Engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
