TL;DR
WhatsApp reminders work best when they are short, specific, and include secure manage links. AI can answer general questions, but cancellations, reschedules, payment links, and receipts should stay deterministic and secure.
Quick answer table
Best timing
Confirmation immediately, reminder 24h before, reminder 1h before when appropriate.
Best content
Customer name, salon, date, time, service, manage link, directions.
Safety rule
Do not let AI guess cancellations, reschedules, payment status, or receipts.
