How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Patient Submits Booking Requesttrigger

Patient sends appointment request via email, phone, or online form. The automation captures the patient name, preferred date, time, and visit reason.

2. Extract Patient Details

The automation parses the request to extract structured data: patient name, contact, preferred date, time, and visit type. the automation queries to verify or create the patient record.

3. Check Provider Availability

The automation queries for all providers and identifies available slots matching the patient's preference. If the preferred slot is free, it is reserved; if not, the automation identifies 2 to 3 alternatives.

4. Slot Available?

If the preferred time is free, proceed to confirmation. If not, offer alternatives.

5. Send Confirmation or Options

The automation sends the patient a confirmation email with the booked appointment details, or offers alternative slots if the preferred time is unavailable. The patient replies to confirm.

6. Block Calendar and Log Appointment

Once confirmed, the automation creates the appointment and logs it with all patient details, visit type, and provider assignment.

7. Notify Provider

The automation sends the provider a message with the patient name, appointment time, and any special notes or pre-visit instructions.
