Problem

No-shows rarely get a second chance

When a patient or customer misses an appointment, most Indian practices simply note 'DNA' in the file and move on. Staff are too busy with walk-ins to chase rebooking — so lifetime value walks out the door.

No-show recovery FAQs

How soon after a no-show should we call?
Same-day within 2–4 hours performs best — patient still remembers the appointment.
Will patients find recovery calls annoying?
Empathetic scripts framed as 'we saved a slot for you' outperform guilt-based messaging in pilots.
Can we limit recovery to high-value appointments?
Yes — filter by service type, ticket size, or patient tier.
What if they no-show again?
Flag repeat offenders; optional deposit policy trigger for third miss.
Does it work for salon and automotive service bays?
Yes — any appointment-based business with calendar integration.
