WhatsApp Automation for Clinics: A Complete Implementation Guide

Description and use

WhatsApp automation for Indian clinics reduces no‑show rates to 5–10 % and saves up to 3 hrs of staff time daily, generating up to ₹30 000/month in recovered revenue.

Problem

Indian clinics lose 20–30% of daily appointments to no‑shows, wasting revenue and staff time.

Outcome

A clinic can recover ₹15,000–₹30,000/month in no‑show revenue and save 2–3 staff hours daily by switching to automated WhatsApp communication.

Workflow

• Patient sends "Book appointment" to clinic WhatsApp
• Webhook receives message and shows available slots from calendar
• Patient selects slot via reply
• Bot confirms booking and schedules reminders
• Bot sends 24‑hour reminder
• Bot sends 2‑hour reminder
• Bot sends post‑visit follow‑up
• Bot requests feedback
