PRODUCT GUIDE

Meeting confirmations and reminders

Design communication that improves attendance without adding noise.

Short answer: Design communication that improves attendance without adding noise. Begin with “Map the moments that require information: confirmation, preparation, reminder, and follow-up.” and verify the result through the public participant path.

Confirmations, reminders, and follow-ups each answer one question at one moment. Confirmation and a single six-hour reminder ship today; timed sequences are documented on the reminders page. The reminder strategy guide covers timing.

Before you start

  • The moments that need information: confirm, prepare, remind, follow up.
  • One purpose per message.
  • A cancelled test booking to confirm reminders stop.

How to complete this task

  1. Map the moments that require information: confirmation, preparation, reminder, and follow-up.
  2. Assign one purpose and one action to each message.
  3. Schedule reminders according to the cost and lead time of the meeting.
  4. Test content, links, and suppression after cancellation.

Finish by opening the public link in a signed-out browser: a saved setting is not proof that the guest path works.

Troubleshooting

The problems people report most often with this task, and the cause behind each one.

An invitee received no confirmation.

Confirm the booking reached its confirmed state, then check the address, the delivery record, and whether email credentials are configured on this deployment.

Reminders arrive at unhelpful times.

Match reminder timing to preparation cost. A 24-hour reminder suits a meeting that needs work beforehand; a one-hour reminder suits a short call.

A cancelled meeting still sent a reminder.

Suppression on cancellation must be tested explicitly. Cancel a test booking and confirm no later message is sent.

RELATED CAPABILITY

Reminders and follow-ups

Send useful confirmation, reminder, reconfirmation, preparation, and follow-up messages automatically. Confirmation, welcome email, and an idempotent six-hour meeting reminder can be sent with configured delivery credentials; configurable sequences and automated follow-ups remain requirements work.

Frequently asked questions

Short answers to what organizers ask most about this task.

What messages should a scheduled meeting send?

Four at most: confirmation immediately, preparation if something is required, a reminder timed to the preparation cost, and a follow-up with the outcome. Each needs one purpose and one action.

When should reminders be sent?

Match the timing to what the invitee must do. Twenty-four hours ahead when preparation is needed, one hour ahead for a short call. Sending both to everyone trains people to ignore all of them.

How do I reduce no-shows with notifications?

A reminder that restates the purpose and includes the join link beats a generic nudge. Adding a reconfirmation step for high-value meetings helps more than adding another reminder.

Does Meetin.gs send email out of the box?

Lifecycle email for creation, responses, booking, cancellation, poll finalization, account welcome, and a six-hour meeting reminder is implemented and sends when Resend credentials and the scheduled-email worker are configured. Delivery jobs and attempts remain inspectable.
