## Why do Acuity Scheduling users need a virtual assistant?

Acuity Scheduling is the booking engine for therapists, coaches, tutors, photographers, salons, clinics and consultants who sell time. It runs well until nobody is looking after it. Availability blocks from a holiday three months ago stay in place, an appointment type for a service you retired still takes bookings, the intake form asks a question you stopped needing, the reminder still carries an old video link and a client in another time zone books 6am by mistake. Then the emails arrive: can I move Thursday, my package shows zero sessions, the gift certificate code failed. An assistant owns all of that. They audit appointment types and calendars weekly, keep forms and notifications right, apply packages and codes, rebook no-shows with lawful consent and do-not-call scrubbing, and send you the booking numbers every week.

## What can a virtual assistant do inside Acuity Scheduling?

**Appointment types and add-ons**
: Creates and maintains appointment types with the right duration, price, padding, minimum notice, category and add-ons, sets up private types with direct links for referral partners and retires types nobody books.

**Calendars and availability**
: Keeps each staff or location calendar's regular hours, blocked time, time zone and booking limits accurate, updates them the same day a schedule changes and uses the look-busy setting when you want fewer visible slots.

**Intake forms**
: Maintains intake forms per appointment type, adds required fields, consent wording and file uploads you ask for, and checks that answers land on the client record before the session.

**Notifications and reminders**
: Edits confirmation, reminder, follow-up and cancellation email and SMS templates, sets reminder timing and tests every template after a change so clients never see an outdated link or address.

**Packages, gift certificates and subscriptions**
: Sets up packages and codes, applies them to bookings, tracks remaining sessions, fixes packages that failed to deduct and issues gift certificates you approve.

**Client list**
: Cleans the client list: merges duplicates, updates contact details and notes, tags clients by program and exports the list for your CRM or newsletter tool when you ask.

**Reschedules, cancellations and no-shows**
: Handles move and cancel requests arriving by email, chat or phone, marks no-shows, applies your late cancellation policy and rebooks them with lawful consent and do-not-call scrubbing.

**Reports and calendar sync**
: Pulls appointment, revenue and no-show reports weekly, checks the Google, Outlook or iCloud sync for conflicts and verifies that video meeting links are generating on the right types.

## Frequently asked questions

### What does an Acuity Scheduling virtual assistant do that Acuity does not?

Acuity takes the booking; the assistant handles everything around it that needs judgment or a human reply. Each morning they review new bookings for missing intake answers, chase yesterday's no-shows, confirm today's high-value sessions and check for sync conflicts between Acuity and your calendar. Reschedule requests that arrive by email or phone get answered by a person. Weekly, appointment types, availability and templates are audited against what you actually offer. The end-of-day report lists bookings made, changes handled and anything needing your decision.

### Do you have Acuity Scheduling certified assistants?

Acuity Scheduling does not offer a certification for account administrators, so we do not claim one. Our scheduling assistants train on Acuity through the product guides and then in supervised client accounts before a team lead signs them off: appointment types, calendars and availability, intake forms, notifications, packages and codes, client records, reports and the calendar and video integrations. AssistBPO holds no partner, reseller or affiliate status with Squarespace or Acuity. The product name on this page only identifies the tool you book with.

### How much does an Acuity Scheduling virtual assistant cost?

Plans depend on hours, desks and coverage. Get a staffing plan within 1 business day. Keeping Acuity accurate rarely fills a day on its own, so most solo practices fold it into a receptionist or scheduling assistant on the Front desk & phones desk who also answers calls and emails, or into an executive assistant who runs the inbox as well. Multi-practitioner clinics that want confirmations and no-show follow-up by phone need more hours. Your Acuity subscription stays in your name.

### How is access to our Acuity account handled?

You add the assistant as a user in your Acuity account with the permission level you choose, limited to the calendars they should see and manage. They sign in with their own credentials from a managed device with multi-factor authentication turned on. Payment processor settings, your Squarespace account and billing stay with you. Client records are viewed only inside Acuity, never exported without your request, and our staff are employed, background-checked and under NDA. Remove the user and access ends immediately, with every setting left exactly as it was.

### Can the assistant send SMS reminders and call no-shows?

Yes. SMS reminders run through Acuity's own notifications, and the assistant keeps the templates, timing and opt-out wording correct for your country. Phone confirmations for high-value sessions and callbacks to no-shows are made from your phone system in your name, with lawful consent and do-not-call scrubbing on every outbound call and text. Recording notices follow each country's rules and, in the US, each two-party consent state. The outcome of every call is noted on the client record so you and the backup see the history.

### We run group classes and workshops in Acuity. Can the assistant manage them?

Yes. The assistant sets up class series and workshops as group appointment types with the right capacity, price and schedule, watches enrollment numbers, fills seats from the waitlist when someone cancels, and messages participants when a session moves. Package holders are applied to the right classes so their session counts stay accurate. Before each series starts, they send a roster with intake answers to the instructor and afterwards send you attendance and revenue by class so you can decide which sessions to repeat.
