Why You Need Booking Reminders
On booking websites, users often forget about appointments, consultations, rentals, or service bookings. Automatic reminders notify both parties in advance and help reduce no-shows.
Notifications for Service Providers
The listing owner also receives a reminder, making it easier to prepare and avoid missing the booking request.
Automation Without Manual Work
Once configured, the plugin automatically checks upcoming bookings and sends emails at the specified intervals.
Key Features

Emails to Customers
The customer receives a clear email with information about the upcoming booking, including the date, time, and booking details.

The listing owner can receive a separate notification to prepare in advance for the service or appointment.
