How reminders and confirmations work
PopularAmy sends a confirmation the moment an appointment is booked, then reminders in the days before the visit — and when a patient replies to confirm, move, or cancel, she handles it and keeps your schedule up to date.

Rescheduling and cancellations
Amy moves and cancels appointments by phone or text, 24/7 — she finds a new time, updates your PMS, frees the old slot, and offers it to your waitlist, with a built-in safety net so nothing is cancelled by mistake.

Provider hours and blackout dates
Tell Amy when each provider works and when the office is closed, and she only ever offers times that are truly available — no bookings on a day off, a holiday, or outside a provider's hours.
