Frequently asked questions

Can I send two reminders?

Yes — run the schedule at both 24h and 2h windows, or add a second branch. One day-before and one hour-before is the sweet spot.

What about timezones?

Use the booking's stored timezone when formatting the time in Step 2 so clients always see their local time.
