Frontdesk runs a HIPAA-compliant 24h / 2h / 30min confirmation cadence across voice, SMS, and email, and escalates to a live AI call the moment a client stops responding — so no-shows are caught before they happen, not after. Integrates with SimplePractice, TherapyNotes, Jane App, CentralReach, TheraNest, and Fusion Web Clinic.

The Problem
SimplePractice, TherapyNotes, Spruce Health, Klara, Weave, and Solutionreach send 24h, 2h, and 30min reminders — but the client never has to confirm, and the system can’t tell who’s actually coming.
To get real confirmation, receptionists hand-dial clients the day before — eating an hour or two of staff time per location, every day.
A client who doesn’t reply to any of the three reminders is the highest no-show risk — but no system flags them or escalates outreach. The hour is lost.
Even when clients confirm via text, the data sits in a SMS log — not in SimplePractice or TherapyNotes. Clinicians can’t see the confirmation status of today’s schedule at a glance.
How Frontdesk Works

AI Transcript
“Hi! I’d love to tour the 2-bedroom at Maple Heights. Any availability this Saturday?”
Frontdesk AI
“Yes! The 2BR at Maple Heights is $2,450/mo with a Feb 1 move-in. Saturday 11am or 2pm works for tours. Shall I book one?”
Frontdesk fires HIPAA-compliant reminders on the cadence proven to maximize confirmation — 24 hours, 2 hours, and 30 minutes before the session — across voice, SMS, and email, with the client’s preferred channel honored first.
Looking for a 2BR around $2,400, move-in mid-February. Do you allow pets?
We have a 2BR at $2,450/mo available Feb 15. Cats and dogs under 50 lbs welcome. What’s your move-in date?
Captured
If the client hasn’t confirmed by the 2-hour mark, Frontdesk escalates to a live AI voice call — asks for confirmation, offers reschedule, or flags the appointment as high-risk so the clinician can adjust prep.
More capabilities
Every confirmation, reschedule, and cancellation flows into the appointment record in SimplePractice, TherapyNotes, Jane App, CentralReach, TheraNest, and Fusion Web Clinic — so the clinician sees a real schedule, not a hopeful one.
If a client replies "can’t make it" to a reminder, Frontdesk doesn’t just cancel — it offers reschedule windows pulled live from the clinician’s calendar and books the new slot in the EHR on the same conversation.
If reminders and escalation all fail and the client still no-shows, Frontdesk fires the no-show recovery sequence within 5 minutes — autonomous voice + SMS, same-call rebooking, waitlist fallback.
Frontdesk learns which clients need 3 reminders, which need a 2h voice nudge, and which need only a 24h SMS — and tunes the cadence per cohort to maximize confirmation without nagging.

Topics, integrations, channels, practice types, and workflows covered by AI Appointment Confirmation Cadence.
Built for therapy practices tired of one-way reminders that never confirm. Unlike SimplePractice native reminders, TherapyNotes reminders, Spruce Health, Klara, Weave, and Solutionreach — which fire and forget — Frontdesk actually closes the loop: it asks for confirmation, escalates non-responders to a live AI voice call, offers reschedule windows, and triggers no-show recovery within 5 minutes if the slot is missed. HIPAA-compliant by design with BAA, encrypted PHI, and audit logs across SLP, ABA, mental health, psychiatry, OT, and PT lines of service.

Contact supportSimplePractice and TherapyNotes reminders are one-way — they fire SMS / email and stop. Spruce Health, Klara, Weave, and Solutionreach do the same. Frontdesk runs the same 24h / 2h / 30min cadence but actually closes the loop: it confirms, escalates silent clients to a live AI voice call, reschedules cancellations conversationally, and triggers no-show recovery within 5 minutes.
