No cost per message. Confirmation on booking, a reminder the day before the lesson, from your number. You don't type a thing. ## One message. And a full passenger seat. - Booked, and the confirmation is already out. As soon as someone has picked lesson, instructor and time through your link, the WhatsApp with service, date and time goes out. No account, no app, within seconds. The lesson is confirmed from the first minute, even when a parent did the booking. - Reminded. And paid up front if they like. The reminder arrives on WhatsApp from your number. If a service has a price, customers can also pay it right at booking through Stripe; anyone who would rather pay on site books without payment. - Booked by phone. Reminded all the same. When the AI phone assistant books a lesson while you're sitting next to a learner, the reminder runs along exactly as it does for every online booking. Confirmation straight away, reminder beforehand, status on the appointment. No channel falls through. - Your number. Your tone. Your timing. You connect your WhatsApp with a QR code. A week before, 24 hours before, 2 hours before or a time of your own, every message with its own text. Whoever can't make it writes back, straight into your chat. No cost per message. - Status on every lesson. For every instructor. In the driving-school calendar every lesson shows whether the reminder is out: sent, scheduled, failed. Every instructor sees it on their own appointments, in the car and in the office. No checking, no rewriting, no sticky note on the key board. - Status on the appointment, on every device. Sent, scheduled, failed: the status of every reminder sits right on the appointment in the web app. Apps for iPhone and Android and a smartwatch app are coming soon. ## Common questions **Do the reminders come from the driving school's number?** Yes, from yours. You connect your WhatsApp in the app with a QR code, and your number stays your number. Learners and parents see the driving school they know, and whoever can't make it replies straight into your chat instead of calling an office where nobody is sitting right now. Technically this is a linked device, not the official WhatsApp Business Platform; WhatsApp can restrict or ban numbers that send automated messages. **When should the reminder for a driving lesson go out?** The classic is 24 hours before, the most effective message against forgotten lessons. You can add a week before, two hours before or a time of your own, every reminder switched on and off individually, each with its own text. **Do I have to type for every lesson myself?** No. As soon as a lesson is in the calendar, whether online, through the phone assistant or entered by you, terminio writes. Name, date, time and service it fills in when sending, the rest you word once, the way you speak. For example: don't forget glasses and ID. **What does a WhatsApp appointment reminder for driving schools cost?** Nothing per message. WhatsApp appointment reminders for driving schools are part of the plan: the Free plan includes five reminders a month, from Pro they are unlimited. No SMS fees, no credit to top up. Pro you can try free for seven days and cancel monthly. **Does the reminder go to the learner or to the parents?** To the mobile number given at booking. If a mum books for her son, she gets the message; if the learner books, they get it. In the calendar every lesson shows the status: sent, scheduled or failed, so you always know who was reminded. **Does this really help against no-shows at a driving school?** Every no-show is an empty passenger seat that costs anyway: the car, the instructor, the lost three quarters of an hour. A short WhatsApp reminder beforehand brings most of them back, and whoever can't make it cancels in time, so the slot is bookable online again. You set it up once, and from then on terminio writes. --- terminio.ai is online appointment booking for small businesses with WhatsApp reminders and an AI phone assistant, from €0 a month.
