01 · The problem
Appointments live in the diary, questions live in WhatsApp
The classic clinic split: bookings in the practice system, questions on WhatsApp, recalls on a to-do list. Information drifts between the three, appointments get double-booked, and patients who could be recalled sit in the files.
02 · The workflow
How the flow works in Wutt
Requests come into one queue
Patients message the clinic number for appointments and questions. Everything lands in the shared inbox, so front-desk staff answer from one queue instead of one personal phone.
Confirmation and reminder flows run automatically
A confirmed booking triggers a same-day confirmation and a reminder before the visit, with the address and prep instructions. Reschedules follow the same flow.
Recall becomes a broadcast, not a chore
When a recall round is due - follow-ups, checkups, seasonal reminders - the clinic sends it from the workspace to the relevant contact list, and replies land back in the shared inbox.
Every patient thread keeps its history
Notes and tags stay on the conversation, so any staff member picking up the thread knows where the patient stands.
03 · What to expect
Outcomes, honestly framed
The workflow removes the phone-to-diary-to-WhatsApp triangulation that causes missed bookings, and makes recall a scheduled task instead of a memory. Actual results depend on the practice's volume and message quality - the mechanism reduces dropped conversations, which is the measurable part.
04 · Setting it up
How to replicate this
In Wutt: set up the clinic's appointment types, switch on booking, configure reminders, and run recall as a tagged campaign. Included from $11/mo; the $1 first month covers the setup.
Common questions
Many clinics already communicate with patients on WhatsApp. As with any channel, keep patient data handling in line with your local regulations - our security page describes how Wutt stores data.
Yes - the shared inbox is built for teams, with assignment and internal notes so two staff members never answer the same patient twice.
Tag the relevant contacts, compose the message in the workspace, and send it as a campaign; replies come back into the same threads.
