Match the right appointment with the right person

When an appointment becomes available, ShowUpIQ identifies a qualified person from your waitlist, sends an automated SMS, and continues down the list until someone accepts the opening. Your team spends less time calling — your patients get faster access.

How the smart waitlist works

  1. An appointment becomes available. A patient or client cancels, reschedules, or changes an appointment. ShowUpIQ detects the opening through your connected scheduling workflow.
  2. ShowUpIQ finds the best match. The platform reviews eligible people based on your rules: appointment type, service, provider, location, preferred day and time, waitlist priority, and duration.
  3. Automated SMS outreach begins. The best-fit person receives a clear text: "A 2:30 PM appointment has become available tomorrow. Would you like it? Reply YES to accept."
  4. Outreach continues automatically. If someone doesn't respond within your selected time window, ShowUpIQ moves to the next qualified person.
  5. The appointment is filled. Once someone accepts, the booking workflow updates and the result appears in your dashboard.
