Send appointment reminders

About this recommendation

Home study and inspection appointments are often scheduled for families without their input and with confirmation. As a result, families can miss critical appointments which delays the licensing process and creates unnecessary frustration.

Sending appointment reminders to families can help prevent these issues.

How to do this

You can send an appointment reminder to families via a shared calendar invite, physical mail, email or text. If possible, ask families what their preferred mode of communication is and send their reminder that way. Here are text examples for reminders in a variety of formats.
