Automated booking confirmations and reminders
Calendly is the world's leading scheduling automation platform, eliminating the back-and-forth emails traditionally required to book meetings. Used by over 20 million people globally, Calendly integrates with your calendar to show real-time availability, allowing clients, prospects, and colleagues to book time slots that work for everyone automatically.
From sales calls and customer support sessions to interviews and consultations, Calendly streamlines scheduling across industries. Its intelligent features include multiple event types, team scheduling, buffer times between meetings, timezone detection, and customizable booking pages. Integration with video conferencing tools creates seamless virtual meeting experiences.
While Calendly sends email confirmations and reminders, adding SMS notifications dramatically reduces no-shows and last-minute cancellations. Text messages reach people immediately on their most-used device, ensuring appointment reminders aren't buried in overflowing inboxes. The 98% open rate of SMS means your reminders actually get seen.
Automated SMS confirmations reassure bookers immediately after scheduling, while reminder texts sent 24 hours or 1 hour before appointments keep them top-of-mind. This is particularly valuable for healthcare providers, service businesses, sales teams, and consultants where no-shows directly impact revenue and productivity. SMS integration transforms Calendly from a scheduling tool into a comprehensive appointment management system.
