SMS reminders that cut no-shows.
This use case works best with the following environment variables, which are injected into your sandbox at runtime:
TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SIDTWILIO_AUTH_TOKENTWILIO_PHONE_NUMBEREvery no-show is a paid-for slot that earns nothing, and the fix is old news: remind people before the appointment. The catch is the tools that do it bill per message or per seat, and route your client list through their platform. For a clinic or salon, that is a tax on every text. This blueprint builds it as your own code on your own Twilio account, so the only cost per text is what the carrier charges.
An appointment reminder system backed by SQLite, seeded with ten appointments across next week so the dashboard has life on load. The reminder policy lives as data: 24 hours and 2 hours before, with a per-client opt-out. Reminders go out over SMS via the Twilio Node SDK, with reply handling: YES confirms, NO cancels and frees the slot. The dashboard lists upcoming appointments with each reminder's status, scheduled, sent, confirmed, or cancelled, and flags unconfirmed slots as no-show risks.
It ships in dry-run mode by default: messages are logged, not sent, so it demos safely until real credentials are in. You watch the agent scaffold the project, build the schema, seed the data, and confirm the dashboard renders before handing you a live preview. The code lands on a branch in your repository with a pull request ready.
The first version is a base you steer with plain follow-up messages:
Each follow-up wakes the same repository and the agent continues on its own code.
Do I need to know how to code? No. You describe what you want; the agent writes the schema, reminder logic, and dashboard, then ships it to your repository.
Will it text people by accident? No. It defaults to dry-run and only logs messages until you add real Twilio credentials and switch it on.
Where does my client list live? In your own SQLite database, in your repository, tied to your Twilio account. No third-party platform in the middle.
