Reception messaging could be clearer about appointment types

I have generally been satisfied with this practice until today. After receiving a text message regarding what appeared to be an appointment scheduled for that day, I was confused as I had no memory of booking anything. When I called to clarify, I was informed that it was not actually an appointment but rather a booking to retrieve information from a monitoring device. However, the message itself referred to it as an appointment and included a cancellation link, which understandably caused the confusion. The receptionist explained that this is simply how their messages are formatted. Had I not made that call to check, I would have unnecessarily disrupted my day and rearranged my schedule based on what I believed to be a confirmed appointment. It would have been beneficial if the communication during this call had been delivered in a friendlier manner. I have previously experienced pleasant interactions with reception staff, but this interaction fell short of that standard. The issue appears to stem from how the message was worded and presented. It might be helpful if the practice could revise the text format to make it clearer whether the communication is confirming an actual appointment or simply providing a notification.
