From cancellation to booked in two minutes
No new habits to learn. Mark the appointment cancelled and NoShow Rescue does the rest — here is the whole sequence.
Recovery timeline
Example sequence — illustrative figures2:04 PM
Jessica cancels her 2:30 PM color appointment
You mark it cancelled in NoShow Rescue, or it arrives from your CSV import. A recovery opportunity opens immediately and $165 is recorded as revenue at risk.
2:04 PM
The waitlist is ranked
Six customers match the service, the day, the time and the notice they need. Each one is scored out of 100 with the reasons shown, so you can see why they are on the list.
2:05 PM
Three offers go out, best match first
Only the top matches are contacted. The message names the service, the date and the time, so the customer can answer with one word.
2:06 PM
Maya accepts and the slot is refilled
The remaining offers stop instantly. A confirmed replacement appointment is created for 2:30 PM and the original is marked refilled.
2:06 PM
$165 is recorded as recovered
The ledger writes one recovered entry keyed to that appointment. Your dashboard, analytics and recovery rate all update from the same source.
The matching algorithm
Why a customer is at the top of the list
Nothing about the ranking is random. Every candidate is scored on the same seven factors, and the same slot always produces the same order.
| Factor | Weight | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Service match | 30 | They asked for this exact service |
| Day preference | 15 | The slot falls on a day that works for them |
| Time preference | 15 | Morning, afternoon or evening match |
| Response history | 12 | How often they reply to past offers |
| Staff preference | 10 | The slot is with their preferred stylist |
| Date window | 10 | Sooner slots score higher |
| Engagement | 8 | Recent visits, minus past no-shows |
Before scoring, anyone who cannot take the slot is removed outright: not enough notice, outside their date window, above their maximum value, wrong service, or the person who just cancelled.
