Last-Minute Slot Fill & Utilization Alert System
A done-for-you salon and spa automation built for the Booking Coordinator, connecting Twilio and Mailchimp so the work below happens on its own.
What this automation does, step by step
Every morning, this automation scans each stylist's or provider's calendar for the next 48 hours and flags any gap longer than 45 minutes.
Those open slots are packaged into a same-day deal, typically 15-20% off, and pushed to a segmented list of clients who have booked that specific service before and live nearby, with a one-tap booking link.
The first client to respond claims the slot and everyone else's offer expires automatically, so there's no double-booking risk.
Chairs that used to sit empty on a slow Tuesday afternoon get filled without a manager scrambling to post on social media.

Using different software? We build around what you already have, so you never have to switch tools to automate.
The manual way vs. the automated way
Without automation
Manually, a booking coordinator is stuck doing repetitive follow-ups and data entry that could otherwise run quietly in the background. None of it is difficult, it's just slow, repetitive, and easy to fall behind on.
With this automation
- Multi-touch reminders that measurably reduce no-shows
- Waitlists that backfill cancellations automatically
- Self-scheduling with instant confirmations
- Dispatch and on-my-way updates sent to the right people
