Agent Case Study · Med Spa

Bookings without the
phone tag

A three-location med spa ran its calendar over phone and DMs — four messages per booking, chronic no-shows, and a front desk that couldn't focus on clients in the room. We deployed an appointment booking agent across web chat, SMS, and Instagram that books, confirms, reminds, and reschedules on its own.

Where they started

The challenge

Every booking was a negotiation: a DM, a callback, two texts about times, then a manual calendar entry. No-shows ran in the high teens — painful when a filler appointment blocks a practitioner for 45 minutes — and reminder calls happened only when the front desk had slack, which was never.

Scheduling rules were genuinely complex: per-practitioner services, treatment-specific buffers, deposit requirements for new clients, and three locations' worth of hours. Generic booking links kept double-booking or offering slots that broke the rules.

The build

What we built

01Rules encoded once

Practitioner skills, service durations, buffers, deposits, and location hours — all the tribal knowledge the front desk held — became configuration the agent enforces every time.

02Booking where clients already are

Web chat, SMS, and Instagram DMs all book against live availability. New clients pay their deposit in the same conversation.

03Reminders tuned to the no-show curve

Confirmation on booking, a reminder 48 hours out, and a final nudge 3 hours before — each with one-tap confirm or reschedule.

04Waitlist backfill

Cancellations automatically offer the freed slot to the waitlist, recovering time that used to vanish silently.

The front desk now greets the person standing in front of them instead of apologizing to the phone. No-shows fell 41% — inside the 30–50% range reminders typically deliver — and the waitlist backfill quietly recovers practitioner hours that used to disappear with every late cancellation.
