Appointment Reminder and Rebooking System

An appointment reminder and rebooking system should work from the current appointment record, not a separate message list. It confirms the right time and location, gives a clear reschedule path, updates staff visibility, and creates a bounded rebooking step after a cancellation or missed visit.

The operating problem

The tool is not the decision.

Reminder messages can reduce uncertainty while still creating staff work. Clients reply to unmanaged numbers, reschedules do not reach the calendar, and cancelled capacity remains empty. The team has automation but no connected recovery path.
