Clinic WhatsApp inquiries turned into ready-to-act staff handoffs

A healthcare clinic receiving patient inquiries over WhatsApp.

5
intake steps before handoff
I / The situation
01

Reception reads every WhatsApp thread to work out what the patient wants.

02

The same service and location questions arrive all day.

03

Contact details and appointment preferences get lost in long chats.

II / What we built
01

Approved answers for routine questions

Replies to non-clinical questions about services, locations, availability, and preparation.

02

Structured intake

Captures contact details, the reason for the inquiry, and preferred appointment or callback times.

03

Routing with a clear reason

Sensitive, uncertain, or out-of-policy messages go to staff with a summary, the captured fields, and a handoff reason.

04

Secure WhatsApp connection

Meta WhatsApp webhooks with HMAC signature checking and replies through the Graph API.

05

Booking boundary kept explicit

A requested time stays a request until the scheduling workflow accepts it, so no slot is confirmed by mistake.

V / This is for you if

Patient or customer requests arrive in chat threads rather than forms.

03

You need AI to handle routine questions but hand anything sensitive to a person.
