Calendar with automatic reminders

A calendar for a medical pedicure practice that automatically sends clients a reminder the day before, by text or email, whichever the client prefers.

01 / the challenge

What needed to be better?

Clients who forget their appointment cost a practice an empty slot. Sending reminders by hand takes time every day and gets skipped on busy days.

02 / the solution

What I built

  • The calendar is the starting point: create, drag and edit appointments right in the calendar.
  • A double-booking warning; the end time fills in from each client's usual duration.
  • A preference per client: text, email, both or none.
  • Every half hour, reminders go out for the next 24 hours of appointments, never twice.
  • If a text fails, the practice gets an email straight away to call the client.
  • A health check confirms the background processes are running, so reminders never fail silently.

03 / the result

  • Almost 0 forgotten appointments since reminders go out automatically
  • Fewer empty slots in the calendar, so no lost income
  • Instantly spotted when a date was noted down wrong
