Sound familiar?

You didn't study medicine to chase appointments.

01

Receptionist on the phone all day

Bookings, reminders, walk-ins, doctor's questions — all at once. She juggles three things and drops two.

02

Patients no-show

They forgot. They got busy. You lost the slot, the revenue, and the goodwill. One in four appointments ends this way.

03

Doctor takes leave, chaos follows

Someone manually WhatsApps 30 patients to reschedule. Half are missed. The rest call back angry.

04

Patients drop out mid-treatment

No reminder, no recall, no follow-up. They come back six months later — to a different clinic.

One number does it all

Your clinic's WhatsApp becomes a Booking Engine + AI Receptionist

Patients book, confirm, and reschedule inside WhatsApp. No app download. No phone call. All Automatic.

WhatsApp booking

Patients book themselves on WhatsApp.

Patient sends BOOK to your clinic number. Picks a doctor. Picks a time. Confirms. Done — without an app, without a phone call, without your receptionist saying a word.

  • Works on the patient's existing WhatsApp — nothing to download
  • Tap-to-select buttons for doctor, date, and slot
  • Instant confirmation with appointment details
  • Rescheduling and cancellation work the same way
  • Works in English, Hindi, and Hinglish out of the box
  • Captures patient name and phone automatically
  • Available 24/7 — no after-hours bookings missed

9-touch reminders

Nine reminders, zero work.

From two days before to the moment of the appointment, WhatAClinic sends nine reminders that get more urgent as the time approaches. Patient can confirm, reschedule, or call the clinic with one tap.

  • Automated WhatsApp messages — no manual effort
  • Patient confirms with a single tap
  • Escalating urgency as the appointment nears
  • If they can't make it, they reschedule right there
  • Auto-cancels future reminders the moment a patient confirms
  • Customise tone and timing for each reminder
  • No-show rate drops 40-60% in the first month

Leave management

Doctor takes leave. The system handles it.

Apply for leave on the dashboard. WhatAClinic finds every patient with an appointment on those days. It asks each one to reschedule or pick another doctor. Your receptionist makes zero phone calls.

  • Collision detection — finds all affected appointments
  • Each patient gets a personal WhatsApp message with options
  • Calendar auto-updates as patients respond
  • Receptionist sees a summary, not a to-do list
  • Suggests alternate doctors automatically when available
  • Track who's responded and who's still pending
  • Half-day, full-day, multi-day leave — all handled

Straight answers

Questions you'd ask before signing up.

Do my patients need to download an app?+

No. Everything happens inside WhatsApp — the app they already have. They send BOOK, pick a doctor and time, and get confirmations. No download, no registration.

What if I don't have a WhatsApp Business API number?+

We help you get one set up in 20 minutes during onboarding. You can use a new number or convert your existing clinic number.

What does Meta charge per message?+

Free for 24 hours after every patient reply. Outside that window, Rs 0.10–0.40 per conversation. Paid directly to Meta — we do not add any markup.

Can I bring my existing patient list?+

Yes. Upload a CSV with name and phone number. All patients get tagged in your CRM and can start booking right away.

What if I want to cancel?+

Cancel anytime from the dashboard. No long contracts. No exit fees. Your data is yours — we will export it for you on request.
