Frequently asked questions
How fast should I send it?
Within 24 hours, ideally the same day. Speed signals enthusiasm, and the details are still fresh for a specific, memorable note.
What if the attendee never confirms?
Send one reminder 24 hours before, then a short check-in 1 hour before. If they miss it twice without notice, ask directly whether the meeting is still a priority.
