Booking follow-up helps customers know what happened, what to do next, and how to continue working with your business. Use it after appointments, missed bookings, completed service, events, or consultations.

What this guide helps you do

• Choose the right follow-up message for the booking outcome.
• Connect follow-up to the customer record, task list, Audience, or journey.
• Review AI-drafted messages before sending.

Before you start

• Know whether the booking was completed, missed, cancelled, or needs another step.
• Review intake answers, notes, payment status, and any promised next action.
• Decide whether follow-up should be one message, a task, or a longer journey.

Do it manually

1. Open the completed or updated booking.
2. Review customer details, notes, service outcome, and next action.
3. Choose a follow-up message, task, broadcast, sequence, or journey based on the booking outcome.
4. Personalize the message with relevant details but avoid private internal notes.
5. Send the message or save it for review.
6. Update the customer record or pipeline if the booking created a sales or service opportunity.
