8 appointment reminder email templates

No-shows are one of the most common problems for businesses that take customer appointments. If a customer doesn’t show up for the scheduled time, then your organization — and other customers — miss an opportunity to do business. 

Not only do these missed appointments result in a loss of revenue, but trying to reschedule your customer can cost you more time and money.

Each industry has its own problem with no-shows, but as an example, healthcare organizations have a 30 percent no-show rate on average. Clients often miss appointments because they forgot, marked down the wrong time, or had a schedule conflict. 

Appointment reminders reduce the likelihood of missed appointments, which is why your business should consider having a reminder system in place. Instead of wasting time with individual phone calls, you can improve efficiency by using automated appointment reminders.

You can customize an appointment reminder email template in your appointment system to notify customers of upcoming meetings, helping get people through the door at the right time. 

All of the following templates are easy to use with Jotform’s appointment slots widget. This no-code tool allows you to customize the text and visual elements of reminder emails so you can communicate more effectively with your customers.

Consider your brand and industry when choosing an appointment reminder email template. Simple, no-nonsense email templates get the job done — but you can take the opportunity to infuse some of your personality and company culture into your appointment reminders as well. 

What message and tone do you want to convey in the reminder email? You can choose to go with something professional, simple, fun, or formal. Pick from the available templates below — and don’t forget to personalize the message to add a friendly touch.

Pro Tip

Automate your reminder emails in seconds and never send a follow up email by hand again.
