Booking Confirmations

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:

  1. Adjust the email copy to match your voice
  2. Add or remove sections
  3. Include a preparation guide specific to the session type
  4. Upload a header image or branded banner
  5. 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.
