Booking Confirmations
A confirmation email sets expectations and builds excitement. creavio sends professional, branded confirmations automatically when a booking is finalized.
What Triggers a Confirmation
A booking confirmation is sent automatically when:
- A client completes the booking process (contract signed + deposit paid)
- You manually mark a booking as confirmed
- A client books through your online scheduler
What's Included in the Confirmation
The default confirmation email includes:
- Session date and time
- Location with a map link (if an address is provided)
- Session type and package booked
- What to expect — preparation tips and what to bring
- Payment summary — amount paid and remaining balance
- Reschedule/cancel policy
- Your contact information
Customizing the Confirmation Template
Edit the template at Settings > Email Templates > Booking Confirmation:
- Adjust the email copy to match your voice
- Add or remove sections
- Include a preparation guide specific to the session type
- Upload a header image or branded banner
- Customize the footer with social links and logo
Session-Type-Specific Confirmations
Create different templates for different session types. A wedding confirmation might include a detailed timeline questionnaire, while a headshot confirmation might include wardrobe suggestions.
Go to Settings > Email Templates and click + New Template. Assign it to a specific session type so the right template sends automatically.
Pre-Session Reminders
In addition to the initial confirmation, set up automatic reminders:
- 1 week before — reminder with preparation checklist
- 1 day before — final reminder with location and time
- Morning of — quick "see you today!" message
These touchpoints reduce no-shows and make clients feel cared for before they even arrive.
