Upcoming booking reminders

Cut no-shows with a friendly nudge before the appointment. Barkway sends reminder emails based on your settings.


When does the reminder send?

Barkway schedules reminders based on:

  • The booking start time.
  • Your Reminder lead time (hours) setting.

If the calculated send time is in the past, Barkway sends the reminder immediately.


What happens if I edit the booking?

Barkway updates the reminder time instead of creating duplicates.


What happens if I cancel a booking?

Any pending reminder for that booking is removed.


How do I turn it on?

  1. Open Settings → Communication.
  2. Set Enable automated communication to Enabled or Email only.
  3. Turn on Enable booking reminders and set your lead time.

SMS reminders

SMS reminders are not live yet and are not a priority right now. We plan to add them later as a paid add-on.


🐾 Gentle reminders, fewer no-shows.
