Reminders that go out on time, every time

A scheduled workflow sends the reminder email and text — appointments, renewals, payments.

Illustration: A reminder at the right time. Reminder schedule: Appointments and renewals; Send the reminder: Your prepared SMS or email; Reply needs a person: Create the next task.

The problem

Sound familiar?

“No-shows happen because the reminder depends on someone remembering to send it.”

“Renewal dates live in a spreadsheet; customers hear from us after the deadline, not before.”

What it does

Runs on the calendar, not a sticky note.

A workflow on a schedule sends the reminders for you: the text the day before, the email the week before, and a task when a reply needs a person. It runs on the calendar, not on a sticky note.

Runs on a schedule

A daily run covers most reminder windows.

Only who is due

Filter to what falls inside the window you choose.

The text and the email

The near-term nudge by SMS, the fuller notice by email.

A person where needed

Ends with a task when a reply needs one.

Setup

How it works in Canopy

4 steps, from setup to the work getting done.

  1. Step 1: Give the workflow a schedule

    In Workflows, start from the schedule trigger — daily at a set time is enough for most reminder runs.

  2. Step 2: Pick who gets reminded

    Filter to the appointments, renewals or invoices that are due inside the window you choose.

  3. Step 3: Send the text and the email

    A send-SMS step for the near-term nudge, a send-email step for the fuller notice.

  4. Step 4: Flag the ones that need a person

    End with a task for confirmations and replies, so nothing reminds twice or falls through.

Sample

Sample conversation, illustrative

The reminders go out on schedule, and the reply is confirmed without a task.
