Frequently Asked Questions

How much does automated scheduling reduce no-shows?

Automated reminders typically reduce no-shows by 30-40%. Adding SMS reminders on top of email further improves attendance rates, especially for healthcare and professional services appointments.

Can it handle multiple team members' availability?

Yes. The system manages availability across your entire team, accounting for individual schedules, time zones, appointment types, and resource requirements (meeting rooms, equipment, etc.).
