Troubleshoot missing confirmations or reminders

First separate a confirmed appointment from a delivered message. An appointment can exist even when an email has not arrived.

Before you start

External email and live SMS are not active in the private preview. Use the authorized testing route rather than expecting a real message.

  1. Find the appointment first

    Search the calendar using the reference, client or service. Check the appointment state before asking the client to book again.

  2. Check the recipient and event

    Review the saved email, the event expected and its timing. A reminder is not the same as a confirmation, and aftercare requires opt-in.

  3. Check current delivery readiness

    Owner: review Manage email settings. A saved setting is not proof of delivery. In this preview, use your invitation conversation for access to authorized test evidence.

  4. Resolve uncertainty before resending

    Record the reference, expected message, time/time zone and any visible result. For a future live-delivery issue, also ask the client to check spam and their entered address; do not promise a resend succeeded without confirmation.

What success looks like

You know whether the issue is a missing booking, recipient/settings problem or a delivery problem.

If it doesn’t work

The client booked twice because no email arrived

Compare both appointment references and agree which is intended before cancelling one.

The appointment is soon

Contact the client through the business’s established contact method. Do not rely on an unverified reminder to resolve an urgent scheduling question.

Still not resolved?

Use your existing invitation conversation for private-preview help. Include the exact action, visible error and time, without passwords, private links or client records.
