How it works

Set up once. ThatBusy keeps reaching out so you don't have to.

  1. Set up your free page

    Add your hours, location, services and contact details, and share one link everywhere. Turn on online booking with any paid plan.

  2. Bring in your customers

    Import your customer list, choose when each kind of visit is due again, and pick the templates you like. You stay in touch between visits without lifting a finger.

  3. Watch the bookings come in

    ThatBusy sends the reminder at the right time. Customers tap, pick a slot, and they're on your calendar.

Bring regulars back on time

  • “It's been a while” messages when someone is due back

Booking

Let customers pick their own time.

Add a “Pick a time” link to any reminder or invitation. Customers choose an open spot on your calendar, get an instant confirmation, and every booking is ready to export to the calendar or spreadsheet your business already uses.

  • Set your hours, appointment length, buffers and days off.
  • Booked spots disappear instantly, so nobody double-books.
  • Export bookings as a calendar file for Google Calendar, Outlook or Apple Calendar, or as a spreadsheet.
  • Share the link by text, WhatsApp or email, after a voice call, or as a QR code on a postcard.

Try it: book a time as the customer, then export it as the business.

The 48-hour guarantee

On the Full Calendar Program and Multi-location, your text, email and call reminders and your booking link go live within 48 hours of us getting your customer list and booking details. If they don't, your first month is free. On yearly plans, we add a month to your plan instead. WhatsApp follows once Meta verifies your business, which can take a few days, so it isn't part of the 48 hours.

Need more credits? Top up any time.

Busy month or a big promotion coming up? Buy more credits whenever you need them from Billing in your dashboard. There's nothing to upgrade and your plan stays the same.

Questions, answered

What's on the free business page?

Your business page is one link with your hours (including holidays and closures), your location with directions, your services and how to reach you. It's free on its own, with no trial and no credit card. Online booking from the page comes with every paid plan, from Business page Plus at $6 a month. Share it in your bio, on your door, on receipts and in every message you send.

I got a message through ThatBusy. Who is it from?

It's from a business you've dealt with, such as your clinic, salon or garage. They use ThatBusy to send reminders, booking links and updates. Reply STOP to stop texts from that business, or use the unsubscribe link in an email. If you think you were contacted without agreeing to it, email [email protected].

What does the setup include?

We handle it for you: import your customer list, connect your booking or point-of-sale tool, switch on reminders, confirmations and rebooking using the templates you choose, set up self-scheduling, register your WhatsApp Business profile, and launch your first win-back campaign. Text, email and call reminders are usually live within 48 hours. WhatsApp follows once Meta verifies your business, which can take several days.

Do you write or design our messages?

No, you start from our template library. It covers reminders, confirmations, rebooking, win-back, invitations, reviews and updates for every channel, with versions for common industries. Edit the wording however you like and add your logo, colours and photos to emails and postcards. We don't create custom designs.

How does the 48-hour guarantee work?

On the Full Calendar Program and Multi-location, the clock starts once we have your customer list and booking details. Within 48 hours your text, email and call reminders and your booking link are live. If they aren't, your first month is free; on yearly plans, we add a month to your plan instead. WhatsApp isn't included in the 48 hours, because it goes live once Meta verifies your business, which can take a few days.

How quickly can I start?

Right away. Your business page is live as soon as you sign up, with its own link and QR code, and you can add customers the same day. We set up your texting number for you; anything you send before it's ready waits and goes out once it is. On the Full Calendar Program and Multi-location, we're live within 48 hours of getting your customer list and booking details, or your first month is free.

Is it legal to text my customers?

Yes, with their permission. In Canada (the anti-spam law, CASL) and the US, you need a customer's consent before sending them marketing messages, and they must be able to stop at any time. ThatBusy keeps a record of each customer's consent, with the exact words they agreed to and the date, only messages people on the channels they agreed to, and handles STOP replies and unsubscribe links for you. This isn't legal advice; if you're unsure about your situation, ask a lawyer.

How does the 30-day money-back guarantee work?

It's for Business page Plus, which has no free trial. If you're not happy within 30 days of your first payment, email us and we'll refund what you paid for the plan, no questions asked, and move your page back to the free plan. Message credits you've already used aren't refunded. It applies once per business.

Am I locked into a contract?

No. Monthly plans can be cancelled anytime. Yearly plans waive the setup fee, include two months free and add a holiday postcard mailing.

Is there a free trial?

Yes, on the outreach plans: Self serve, the Full Calendar Program and Multi-location start with a 14-day free trial, no credit card needed. Business page Plus has no trial; it comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee instead. Your business page is free with no trial at all. Choose the Full Calendar Program or Multi-location when you sign up (or later, under Billing) and we'll contact you to do the setup for you. The 48-hour guarantee starts once we have your customer list and booking details.

What are credits for?

On the Program and Multi-location, appointment reminders, confirmations and rebooking messages are unlimited (fair use), so credits only cover promotions and announcements. One credit sends one text, one WhatsApp reminder, ten emails or 20 seconds of calling; a WhatsApp promotion uses three. On Self serve, credits cover every message. Mail is priced per piece.

Can my customers reply?

Yes. Text, WhatsApp and email replies land in your shared inbox, and call recipients can press a key to confirm or ask for a callback. Confirmations update automatically.

Can you message customers on WhatsApp?

Yes, on the Full Calendar Program and Multi-location. During setup we register your WhatsApp Business profile with Meta and submit your chosen templates for approval. You'll need a phone number that isn't already on WhatsApp, or we can provide one. Customers must agree to hear from you on WhatsApp, and messages you start, like reminders, always use an approved template; once a customer replies, you can chat freely for 24 hours. Replies land in the same shared inbox as texts and emails.

How does self-scheduling work?

We set your hours, appointment length and days off, then add a “Pick a time” link to your messages. Customers choose an open spot, get a confirmation right away, and you can export bookings to Google Calendar, Outlook or Apple Calendar (.ics) or to a spreadsheet (.csv).

How do you handle consent and opt-outs?

We only message customers you have consent to contact, opt-out requests are honoured immediately across every channel, consent is logged with each contact, and messages hold during quiet hours you set.

Do you charge in Canadian dollars?

Yes. Canadian businesses are billed in CAD, and US businesses in USD. Use the currency switch above the plans to see your prices.

Your next booking is one message away.
