← ShowUpDeskSample: the texts and emails your clients receive
Everything below goes out without you touching anything: the reminder the night before, the client's one-tap confirmation, the two-hour nudge, and the reschedule flow when they can't make it. Names are made up; the wording is exactly what is sent, with your business name as the sender.

Where appointments come from

ShowUpDesk reads your existing calendar — nothing to re-enter. Client phone numbers come from the event description or your contacts.

Texts go out from a local US or Canadian number registered to your business (we handle the carrier registration). Replies land in your dashboard and, if you want, forward to your phone.
