AI AGENT TEMPLATE
An AI agent that follows up on water sports no-shows with a rebook link and courtesy credit. Recovers 25–40% of missed bookings.
No-shows at water sports operators — SUP, kayak, surf lessons, paddleboard rentals — cluster on the two days of the year that matter most: the peak weekend when weather was great and rentals were fully booked. A customer who didn't show on a quiet Tuesday is annoying. A customer who didn't show on Saturday at 11am when the waitlist was 15 deep is a serious revenue hit, because the slot couldn't be backfilled, the staff were idle for an hour, and the waitlist customers went somewhere else.
The Water Sports No-Show Follow-Up Agent systematises the recovery. When a booking is flagged no-show, the agent waits a 30-minute grace period, confirms the customer hasn't rebooked, and sends a friendly follow-up: rebook link for any future slot, optional courtesy credit, and — if your POS supports it — a gentle nudge toward the off-peak slots that are easier to fill.
Water sports customers are often tourists, which changes the math. A customer who no-showed at 10am for a SUP rental is probably still near the beach at 11am looking for something to do. A timely message with a rebook link for that afternoon converts at 25-40% in our testing, compared to 5% or less for next-day emails. For day-of recovery especially, timing beats everything.
Below is the full agent spec: trigger, tools, default email, and how to adjust the grace period and credit amount for your specific operation.
"On booking_no_show event, wait 30 min. If no rebook, send warm email with same-day rebook link and 10% courtesy credit."
Paste this into Dash Agents. Dash reads the prompt, picks the right tools, assembles the logic, and creates a ready-to-run agent in seconds.
The agent uses the standard Dash Agents tool library. Every tool call is logged.
On trigger, the agent runs these steps in order. Any step can be customised by re-prompting.
Trigger on booking_no_show event.
Handles running-late customers.
Skip if already rebooked.
Customer, session, gear.
Same-day or tomorrow slot with matching gear.
Warm, non-accusatory.

Customisations by re-prompting in plain English: change the trigger timing or conditions, adjust the recipient list, tune thresholds, modify tone, add approval gates, connect additional channels (SMS, WhatsApp) if available. Run in approval mode for the first week to build confidence before switching to autonomous.
Structured automation beats manual follow-up in three ways:
Set this agent up on your first week. Run in approval mode for five days while you watch the outputs, then flip to autonomous. The ROI compounds across a full season — a quiet automation that simply does the right thing, every time, without anyone having to remember.
