No-show reminder (SMS)
Hi {first_name}, this is {business}. Reminder of your appointment on {date} at {time}. Reply C to confirm or R to reschedule. We look forward to seeing you!
Why this matters for veterinary clinics
Vet clinics juggle wellness visits, sick appointments, and refill requests on the same phone line. PetDesk-style booking plus an after-hours AI line stops pet owners from calling the emergency clinic down the road when you could have seen them tomorrow morning.
When not to use AI here
Acute emergencies (difficulty breathing, collapse, toxin ingestion) must bypass AI to your emergency protocol or nearest ER — never queue those behind a bot.
Your first week
- Day 1: Import services, vets, and availability into online booking.
- Day 2: Turn on appointment reminders (SMS cuts no-shows sharply).
- Day 3: Route after-hours calls to AI with emergency keywords escalating.
- Day 4–5: Add 'book online' to voicemail and Google listing.
