Appointment Reminder SMS for Clinics, Salons & Service Businesses
Cut no-shows with automated text reminders — templates, timing, and WordPress booking plugins.
A missed appointment is lost revenue. SMS reminders reach patients and clients who ignore email. Clinics, dental offices, salons, and tutors across Ghana use SplitSMS Reminders to confirm bookings with an early nudge and a due-date text on the day — without calling the list by hand.
What to send
Confirmation immediately after booking: Hi {name}, your appointment is booked for {date} at {time}. Reply YES to confirm. Early reminder a day or two before: Reminder: see you on {date} at {time} — {business_name}. Due-date message on the day: Today is your appointment. We look forward to seeing you.
Set it up on SplitSMS Reminders
Open Dashboard → Reminders → New reminder, choose Meeting, pick your contact group, enable an early reminder, write both messages, and save. For one-off slots use One time; for recurring clinics use Every month where it fits. Full walkthrough: splitsms.com/how-to/set-up-sms-reminders. Product page: splitsms.com/products/reminder-sms.
WordPress and Crocoblock
If you use JetBooking or JetAppointment on WordPress, the SplitSMS plugin can fire SMS on booking created, confirmed, or cancelled — plus scheduled reminders via WP-Cron. Map your phone field once under SplitSMS → Crocoblock.
