AI SMS Automation for Your Business
Handbuilt sets up SMS sequences that fire automatically at the right moment — booking confirmation, appointment reminder, day-before heads-up, post-job check-in — all from a business number, not your personal cell. Setup starts at $1,000 CAD and integrates with your booking or CRM system.
The problem
No-shows cost trades businesses real money. A single reminder text 24 hours before an appointment can cut cancellations substantially — but nobody has time to send 20 texts a day by hand.
What this looks like in practice
A New Westminster mobile dog groomer books 6–8 dogs a day and loses roughly one appointment a week to no-shows. With automated SMS reminders, every client gets a text the evening before with the arrival window and a one-tap confirm link. The groomer stops chasing confirmations and starts showing up to clients who are actually ready.
