Overview
Reduce no-shows for appointments using the AMS+ Appointment Reminder feature. It allows you to send customized email or text reminders to prospects, clients, and agents about upcoming meetings. You can tailor the timing and frequency of these reminders with data from your AMS+ account to ensure each message is relevant and personal.
Use Appointment Reminders in conjunction with Appointment Schedulers to fully automate and streamline your scheduling process.
Note: Appointments made through an Appointment Scheduler will adopt the time zone of the scheduler's device at the moment the appointment was booked. Those created via Activity will use the time zone associated with the primary address on the scheduler’s record. If no address is provided, we’ll default to Eastern Time.
