It reads availability from SimplePractice, TherapyNotes, TheraNest, Jane App, CentralReach, and Fusion Web Clinic, books weekly recurring sessions, handles couples and family blocks, runs 24h / 2h / 30min reminders, and backfills cancellations from the waitlist within 5 minutes.

The Problem
Industry no-show rates for outpatient counseling run 15–25%. Most practices rely on SimplePractice native 24h reminders — which fire once and never confirm.
Clients text and email the practice asking to move sessions. Solo therapists end up handling it during lunch or evenings — or worse, missing the request entirely.
When a slot opens, the waitlist needs outreach within minutes — but most practices manually email the top 3 names and hope someone responds.
When a client misses two weeks in a row, the recurring series gets cancelled and the slot is offered to someone else. Recall is rarely systematic.

More capabilities
When a client cancels or no-shows, Frontdesk fires an AI outbound campaign to the waitlist and recall list within 5 minutes — booking the open slot before the billable hour is lost.
Frontdesk runs recall campaigns for clients who lapsed 60+ days — and reactivation campaigns for closed clients showing engagement signals (review reads, newsletter clicks).
Frontdesk syncs bidirectionally with the major counseling and mental health EHRs.
Frontdesk surfaces schedule density, no-show rate, waitlist-fill rate, recall response rate, and revenue per clinician.
