No-shows cost service professionals real money. Onbookr sends automatic WhatsApp and email reminders before every appointment so clients show up prepared — without you chasing anyone manually.
Set your reminder schedule in Onbookr — for example, 24 hours before and 1 hour before each appointment. From that point on, Onbookr sends those reminders for every booking without any further action from you.
Onbookr sends both WhatsApp messages and email reminders. WhatsApp has a significantly higher open rate than email alone — using both channels means clients actually see the reminder before their appointment. Hosts can set their WhatsApp number to receive reminders too; bookers on Pro-plan hosts get the same option.
When a client books, Onbookr immediately sends a confirmation message with the appointment details — date, time, location or meeting link, and any instructions you specify.
If a client cancels or reschedules, Onbookr automatically sends the appropriate notification and stops the original reminder sequence — so clients don't receive reminders for appointments that no longer exist.
A single no-show from a paying client can cost a service professional the equivalent of hours of work. Automated reminders are one of the highest-ROI features in appointment scheduling software — they pay for themselves in the first prevented no-show. Onbookr includes reminders in every plan, not as a paid add-on.
