How to reduce patient no-shows with automated reminders and 24/7 self-scheduling. AgendaFlow enables appointment booking without receptionist, instantly reschedules cancellations, and lets patients book while you work.
Patient self-scheduling 24/7. You earn more, manage less.
4 hours per week responding to texts, confirming appointments, rescheduling cancellations.
3 missed appointments per week because the patient canceled late or didn't show — and you didn't have time to fill the slot.
Closed schedule while you're working the patient who wants an appointment at 2pm texts you at 3pm, and by the time you respond they've chosen another provider.
Secretary = fixed cost that you can't (or don't want to) pay: $400.00–$800.00/month for someone part-time.
3 missed appointments/week × $50.00/appointment × 4 weeks = $600.00/month thrown away.
4 hours/week of coordination × 4 weeks = 16 hours/month you could bill ($800.00 if you charge $50.00/hour).
Total: $1,400.00/month in lost opportunity.
And Google Calendar + texting don't solve any of this.
Three things that happen when you activate this scheduling app:
Unique link on your Instagram/website: patient books in 30 seconds, chooses available time, confirms. Automated reminders reduce patient no-shows by up to 70%.
You just see the notification. Zero back-and-forth.
Text/email 48h before + 3h before the appointment. Patient confirms with one click.
If they cancel, appointment booking opens automatically and another patient can self-schedule instantly.
The patient who searches for you at 10pm books their appointment. You wake up with a full schedule.
Don't lose appointments because you 'didn't respond in time'.
• Reduce no-shows from 15% to 5% → recover 2 appointments/week = $400.00/month.
• Save 16 hours/month of coordination → you can see 16 more patients or simply live = $800.00/month in value.
• Cost: $16.50/month.
ROI: 85× in recovered revenue + freed time
You're a physical therapist, psychologist, nutritionist, esthetician, doctor with your own practice.
You work alone or with a part-time secretary (you don't have a team of 10 people).
You have 15–30 appointments per week and you're tired of losing hours on coordination.
You use Google Calendar + texting and you know it's not scalable.
You don't need medical records, complex CRM, or clinic software — you just need your appointments to manage themselves.
You have a large team or multiple locations (there's software for that; it's more expensive and complex).
You want electronic billing, medical records, or inventory management (we don't do that; we do one thing well: automated appointments).
You have less than 10 appointments/week (the problem doesn't hurt enough yet).
Tell us what days and times you work, how long each appointment lasts, how much rest you need between patients.
AgendaFlow builds your schedule automatically.
Copy the link, paste it in your Instagram bio, WhatsApp status, email signature.
Patients book when they want, without talking to you.
Automatic reminders 48h and 3h before. Cancellation → slot freed instantly → another patient can book.
You just check your schedule and see patients.
Bonus: Bonus: Configure "days off" with one click (vacation, holidays, emergencies).
