Featurev2.12.0·Oct 11, 2026

Reminders, deposits & booking on your website

v2.12.0 fills in the day-to-day side of bookings: fewer no-shows, fewer “can I move my appointment?” calls, and booking straight from your own website.

Reminders and the customer's link

  • Reminders by text and email, on by default and set per assistant: up to two of 1 day, 2 hours or 1 hour before. Texts keep to 8 AM to 9 PM in the customer's time.
  • Customers reply C to a text reminder to confirm they're coming.
  • Confirmations and reminders include the customer's own link to confirm, move or cancel (up to 2 hours before, by default).
  • An optional “Sorry we missed you” message after you mark a no-show.
  • Reminder texts go from your own Twilio number. US and Canadian numbers need an approved A2P 10DLC registration.

Services, hours and booking rules

  • Services with their own length, free time before and after, price and description, offered by all assistants or some.
  • Different hours each weekday, breaks, and special dates for holidays.
  • Start-time steps, a daily limit, minimum notice and how far ahead customers can book.
  • Your own questions on the booking page.

Booking on your website and deposits

  • A Book online section and a /book page on your Aiva Chat website, in your site's own design (paid plans).
  • Deposits on the booking page and your website, paid through Stripe Checkout into your own Stripe account.
  • Drag appointments to a new time on the calendar, and see show-up rates in appointment reports.
