Appointment reminders on WhatsApp, fewer no-shows

Customers book a slot themselves, get a confirmation at once and a reminder the day before — and can reschedule with one tap instead of not turning up.

The short answer

A WhatsApp appointment reminder is an approved utility template sent before a booking to confirm the date and time. Adwix Connect pairs it with an online booking page connected to Google Calendar, so a customer picks a free slot, receives a confirmation, and gets a reminder before the visit.

Why it matters

Front desks lose hours to reminder calls, and a missed appointment is a slot that cannot be sold again.

People read WhatsApp within minutes. A reminder with Confirm and Reschedule buttons gets an answer while there is still time to fill the slot.

How to set it up

1
Connect Google Calendar. Your booking page shows the free slots from your own calendar.
2
Share the booking link. In a chat, an automatic reply, a campaign, your website or a QR code at the counter.
3
Confirm at once. A confirmation template goes out when the slot is booked.
4
Remind the day before. A reminder template with quick-reply buttons to confirm or reschedule.
5
Handle replies in the inbox. A reschedule request lands with your team, with the customer’s history beside it.
