Appointments and reminders organized from customer conversations

A missed appointment is rarely just a calendar issue. It affects staff time, revenue, and the customer experience. The right reminder can prevent a lot of that friction.

Send reminders around decisions, not noise

A useful reminder confirms the appointment, gives the customer enough time to adjust, and makes cancellation or rescheduling clear. It should not feel like a stream of alerts.

A clean reminder sequence - Confirmation immediately after booking - Reminder the day before - Same-day reminder for time-sensitive services - Follow-up after the visit - Rebooking prompt when it makes sense

> **Respect attention** > The reminder that helps the customer is remembered. The reminder that interrupts too often is muted.

With Taly, teams can keep bookings, customer details, reminders, and follow-up connected to the same conversation history, making service operations easier to manage.
