Appointment reminder software — Atlacare

What is appointment reminder software?

Appointment reminder software automatically messages patients before their appointment — a confirmation when they book and a reminder a set time before — so fewer people forget and fail to attend. For a clinic, every avoided no-show is a recovered slot and recovered income, which is why reminders are one of the highest-return features in practice software.

Atlacare sends email reminders free on every plan and adds SMS and a second (1-hour) reminder on paid plans. Confirmations and reminders are transactional, so they always send — separate from marketing, which needs consent.

Reminders that run themselves

Booking confirmations

The moment a patient books — online or with you — they get a confirmation email, no manual step.

Email reminders (free)

A 24-hour email reminder is on by default for every clinic, on every plan, because email is free and cuts no-shows most.

SMS reminders

Text reminders on paid plans, drawn from your SMS credit balance — for the patients who ignore email.

Second reminder

Add a 1-hour reminder on higher plans for same-day nudges before the appointment.

Recalls & follow-ups

Bring patients back for review with recalls, so nobody quietly drops out of care between courses.

Consent-aware

Reminders are transactional and always send; marketing messages only reach patients who've opted in — handled automatically.

Start free, upgrade only if you need to

The Free plan is free forever — one practitioner, 20 patients, no card. Paid plans are billed monthly or annually (two months free on annual).

Appointment reminders: common questions

Do appointment reminders reduce no-shows?

Yes — reminders are consistently one of the most effective ways to cut no-shows, because most missed appointments are simply forgotten. Atlacare turns a 24-hour email reminder on by default for exactly this reason.

Are email reminders free?

Yes. Email confirmations and reminders are included on every plan, including the Free plan, at no per-message cost.

How do SMS reminders work?

SMS reminders are available on paid plans and use your SMS credit balance. If you run out of credits, SMS pauses but email reminders keep sending.

Do reminders need marketing consent?

No. Appointment confirmations and reminders are transactional messages tied to a booking the patient already made, so they send regardless of marketing consent. Marketing campaigns are separate and only go to patients who opt in.

Can I change the reminder timing and wording?

Yes. Reminder timing and message content are editable, so you can match your clinic's voice and choose how far ahead each reminder goes out.
