ShowUp · by Worksub
In developmentFewer no-shows, and cancelled slots filled from your waitlist.
ShowUp will send each client a WhatsApp reminder before their appointment, with one tap to confirm or reschedule. When someone cancels, it will offer the slot to your waitlist and book the first person who says yes. Every week you get a short report on who missed what.
For clinics, studios and tutors who book by appointment, especially where clients live on WhatsApp. From Worksub, the team behind CertPilot and EstoppelPilot.
The problem
An empty chair costs the same as a full one.
A missed appointment is time you can’t sell again. Reminders help, but most come as texts nobody reads, and when someone cancels at the last minute the slot usually stays empty.
Where clients live on WhatsApp, setting up the WhatsApp Business API is its own project. Most businesses give up and send reminders by hand.
Manual reminders
Someone messages every client the day before, then chases the ones who don’t reply.
Empty slots
Late cancellations rarely get refilled, even when people are waiting for an opening.
WhatsApp setup
The official WhatsApp API is hard to set up, so the channel your clients actually use goes unused.

FAQ
Questions about ShowUp
Do I need a WhatsApp Business API account?
Yes, but the plan is for ShowUp to walk you through it. That setup is the part most businesses get stuck on, so it’s part of the product.
Which calendars will it work with?
Google Calendar first. Tell us which booking tool you use in the form; demand decides what comes next.
Does this exist yet?
Not yet. It’s in development, and teams on the waitlist get access first. Interest from teams like yours determines what we build next.
What happens when I sign up?
Your email goes on the list for this product, and nothing else. We’ll write when there’s something to try, and we might ask you a question or two about how you work today. No newsletter, and we never share your address.
Want ShowUp built?
Join the waitlist for early access. We’ll reach out when it’s ready for its first teams.
