About This Automation

Recalling inactive patients is critical for clinic revenue but manual outreach is time-consuming and inconsistent. Staff spend hours extracting lists, cleaning data, and sending messages one by one.

Automation identifies inactive patients, segments them by recall type, and sends personalized emails and SMS at scale. Responses are tracked automatically, and follow-ups are triggered without manual intervention.

Key features
Extract and filter inactive patients from scheduling records automatically
Segment patients by recall type based on visit history and clinical notes
Send personalized emails and SMS to multiple patients simultaneously
Monitor incoming responses and flag booking confirmations in real time
Trigger automatic follow-up messages to non-responders after set intervals
Log all outreach and responses to a central tracking sheet for audit and reporting

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Weekly Inactive Patient Checktrigger

The automation runs every Monday morning and queries for patients with last visit 6 to 12 months ago and no recall sent in the past 30 days.

2. Extract and Clean Patient Data

The automation pulls patient records (name, email, phone, last visit date), removes duplicates, and validates email and phone formats.

3. Segment Patients by Recall Type

The automation analyzes each patient's visit history and clinical notes to assign a recall category (routine checkup, follow-up care, seasonal). This determines the outreach message.

4. Send Email Campaigns

Personalized emails are sent in bulk to all segmented patients with the appropriate message template and patient name inserted.

5. Send SMS Reminders

SMS messages are sent to patients with valid phone numbers, using the same segmented message templates.

6. Log Outreach in Spreadsheet

A record of each email and SMS sent (patient name, contact method, timestamp, message type) is automatically logged for tracking and compliance.

7. Monitor Responses and Rebook

The automation monitors for replies and booking confirmations over 5 days. When a patient books or confirms, the patient record is updated automatically and marked as reactivated.
