Reschedule & cancel by reply

Customers can change plans without calling — just by texting back.

Life happens. Instead of a missed call or a no-show, customers can reschedule or cancel right from their confirmation or reminder text — just by replying in plain words.

How it works

  1. 1Every confirmation and reminder ends with "Reply here anytime to change or cancel."
  2. 2To move the appointment, the customer texts back reschedule (or a phrase like "change my appointment" or "move my appointment") — nowbooked offers new open times.
  3. 3To cancel, they text back cancel (or "can't make it") — the slot frees up for someone else.
  4. 4Either way, your calendar updates instantly and you get a heads-up.
Tip

There's nothing to memorize — customers reply in their own words. nowbooked understands "cancel," "reschedule," "change my appointment," and similar phrases.

Note

Freed-up slots open back up for other customers automatically, so a cancellation often fills itself.
