When you ask your prospects and clients to confirm<\/a> their appointments with you, it\u2019s great to get confirmation they plan to show-up, but there\u2019s one more thing you can do to ensure your no-shows become a thing of the past – let them know you received their confirmation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your affirmation of their confirmation will make it even more difficult for your clients to conveniently \u201cforget\u201d about their appointments. Plus, as you see below, you can use an auto-reply to confirmation to include additional information about the upcoming meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Setting up an Auto-Reply<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Auto-Reply works with both SMS text Reminders and Email Reminders<\/em><\/strong>. To set up an auto-reply response to confirmations, open your Client Reminder Templates<\/a> and follow the steps below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

1.) After creating the content for your reminder that includes a request to confirm or cancel by replying with Yes<\/strong> or No<\/strong>, check the Set Auto Replies box. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.) Create an Auto-Reply for a Yes response and a No response. Include Custom Fields in your reply by selecting a dynamic field from the Insert a Field drop-down menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within just a few seconds after your client has confirmed with you, they will receive your auto-reply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note: Auto-Replies do not work when clients confirm or cancel using a confirmation link.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Auto-Replies with Additional Information<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Auto-Replies are a great way to break up longer reminder text messages into smaller texts.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Use<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

If you would like your clients to visit a website for more information or to complete intake forms, include a link to the form in the auto-reply.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"auto<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

After your clients confirm, reply with confirmation and a map to help them find you. You could include this link only for initial appointments when using Advanced Custom Criteria<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Auto<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

If you have a video about you or your company? Include a link to it with the auto-reply message.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Parking<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

If you would like to share information like building codes, garage codes, etc., Auto-Replies are the perfect time to deliver the information to your clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Auto-Reply Cancellation Messages<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"Cancelled<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

An Auto-Reply message is a great way to give your clients who cancel an opportunity to quickly reschedule their appointments. Use the reschedule link field and everything is done for you.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"cancellation<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

You can also use cancellation auto-replies to remind clients of any cancellation policies you may have and give them a chance to call and keep their appointment with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Reminders are all about reducing No-Shows, which ultimately puts money in your pocket. Try auto-replies and increase your productivity and income while decreasing your frustration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
