How Sakari Helps Automate Text Service Reminders
Missed plumbing appointments aren’t just inconvenient—they’re expensive. Whether it's a clogged drain, leaking pipe, or new water heater install, your customers expect prompt, professional service. If they forget the appointment or aren’t home, your team wastes valuable time and fuel.
That’s why top plumbing companies use SMS appointment reminders to confirm visits, reduce no-shows, and keep their daily schedule on track.

Why SMS Works for Plumbing Appointments
Plumbing jobs are often booked in advance, but most customers aren’t sitting around checking their inbox. A quick text reminder ensures they remember—and are ready—when your technician arrives.
Benefits of SMS reminders for plumbers:
- Fewer no-shows and delays
- Shorter service windows and better routing
- Faster confirmation from customers
- Less admin work for your team
It’s the easiest way to make sure every job starts on time.

FAQs About Text Appointment Reminders
How many reminders should I send?
One confirmation at booking, one 24-hour reminder, and an on-the-way text is a reliable sequence that reduces no-shows without spamming.
Can I include technician names or photos?
Yes. Personalizing with the plumber’s name and ETA builds trust and improves safety perception.
What if I use Jobber, Housecall Pro, or another service platform?
Sakari can connect via integration or API/Zapier to automate SMS based on job status or calendar events.
What happens if a customer replies?
Sakari supports two-way texting. Your office team can reply in real time or set up automated responses.
Is SMS better than calling or emailing reminders?
Yes—texts have a 98% open rate and are read within minutes. They’re far more effective than email or voicemail alone.
