How to Send Appointment Reminder SMS Messages

Missing appointments cost businesses both time and money. That’s why appointment reminder SMS has become one of the most effective ways to reduce no-shows, keep schedules full, and improve customer satisfaction. With open rates as high as 98%, SMS ensures your reminders reach customers instantly - wherever they are.

In this guide, we’ll show you how easy it is to send appointment reminder SMS messages with MyLINK SMS API from LINK Mobility - even fully integrated into your existing platforms or business systems.

Why Use Appointment Reminder SMS Messages?

SMS offers unmatched immediacy and reliability compared to email or phone calls. When customers receive timely reminders via text, they’re far less likely to forget scheduled appointments.

This results in:

  • Fewer no-shows

  • Higher operational efficiency

  • Reduced revenue loss

  • Easy rescheduling options
