Booking Confirmation

The notification sent to clients after successfully booking an appointment, containing all relevant meeting details.

Definition

Booking confirmations are communications (email and/or SMS) sent immediately after an appointment is booked. They serve as proof of booking and provide all necessary details: date, time, location/link, any preparation instructions, and cancellation policy. Confirmations also include calendar event attachments (.ics files) for easy addition to client calendars.

Examples of Booking Confirmation

Email with date/time, Zoom link, and 'Add to Calendar' button

SMS confirmation: 'Booked! Massage on Fri 3pm at 123 Main St'

Confirmation with attached intake form to complete before arrival

Calendar invite sent to both host and client

Why Booking Confirmation Matters

Confirmations provide peace of mind that the booking succeeded. They serve as reference for the appointment details. Without confirmation, clients may double-book themselves or forget the meeting exists. Confirmations are the first touchpoint of your client experience.
