When to Send It
Trigger
A verified firm appointment is inside the approved reminder window and its recipient, event type, logistics, and preparation instructions are current.
Timing
Use the firm's approved reminder cadence, after checking that the appointment details are still current.
Frequency
At most the approved reminder count for the event; suppress after confirmation, cancellation, rescheduling, or staff contact.
Timing note
Any legal deadline, safety issue, or matter-specific advice requires direct review by the assigned legal professional.

Before You Use This Email
Why This Approach Works
Platform Setup Steps
Trigger
A verified firm appointment is inside the approved reminder window and its recipient, event type, logistics, and preparation instructions are current.
Segment
Verified appointment recipients with current logistics and no cancellation, reschedule, conflict, or delivery hold.
Delay
At the configured appointment-relative window after calendar and matter-system synchronization.
Reply owner: Scheduling coordinator responsible for confirmation, rescheduling, access problems, and urgent escalation.
- Reconcile the calendar, matter system, recipient identity, time zone, format, and assigned professional.
- Insert neutral logistics and the secure portal path for approved preparation items.
- Send, record confirmation state, and route access or urgent messages to the scheduling coordinator.
Stop conditions
- Stop on confirmation if no further reminder is approved, cancellation, reschedule, staff contact, opt-out where applicable, or invalid identity.
- Stop if event details change and regenerate from the current appointment record.
- Stop automation when an urgent, deadline-related, safety, or substantive legal reply arrives.
Mistakes To Avoid
- Including the legal issue in the subject line
Inbox previews may expose private information.
Use instead: Use neutral firm, date, and appointment language.
- Sending after a reschedule
It creates confusion and can cause a missed legal meeting.
Use instead: Synchronize event state immediately before every send.
Sequence Placement
Use as a transactional appointment-service message at the approved pre-event window. Confirmation updates the calendar; rescheduling leaves the reminder branch; substantive or urgent replies transfer immediately to firm staff.
