Reception cannot answer WhatsApp during a consultation.
Appointment requests arrive on WhatsApp, Instagram and the site form while your staff are with patients. They get answered when someone is free, which is usually after the caller has booked somewhere else.
Read, triaged and booked in 4.8 seconds, with the reasoning stored.
Where the appointments actually go
A clinic loses appointments in the gap between the request and the reply, and not to a better clinic. To whichever one answered first. The messages arrive on three channels, none of them is anyone's job, and the person who could answer is in a room with a patient. By the evening there are eleven unread threads and no way to tell which of them were new patients.
Four things we automate for clinics
Each one is a workflow you own, running in your own accounts, monitored and documented.
- WhatsApp Cloud API on your own clinic number, never a shared one
- Slot offers read from your real calendar, never invented
- One-tap handoff to a person, with the whole thread visible
- Reminder and rescheduling flow with opt-out handling
- A runbook: what breaks, how to recover, what it costs to run
Questions clinics ask
- Does the assistant see patient records?
- No. It handles appointment logistics only: who is asking, which treatment, when they can come. We do not connect to your clinical system and we do not process health records. If a conversation moves toward symptoms or clinical advice it hands over to a person, and says so.
- What stops it inventing an answer?
- It answers from a list of approved responses you write, not from a model guessing. Anything outside that list becomes a handoff to your desk instead of an improvised reply. You read every answer it is allowed to give before it goes live.
- What happens if a patient writes something urgent?
- Urgency routing is part of the setup. You define what counts, and those messages skip the queue and alert a person immediately rather than being handled by the assistant.
- Is this GDPR compliant?
- The data stays in your own accounts, we sign a data processing agreement, and Gate 1 of every project includes a written GDPR review of what is collected and how long it is kept. We do not touch clinical records at all, which keeps the scope narrow on purpose.
- How long before it is running?
- Five to eight working days from discovery to a signed spec. The build depends on how many channels you connect. You get a fixed scope, a fixed price and a fixed date before anyone builds anything.
