Use case · appointment changes
Make clinic appointment changes easier to request.
ClinicBot lets patients ask to reschedule or cancel in the same conversation where they booked, on WhatsApp or your clinic website.
01 — The use case
A patient who needs to change plans shouldn’t have to start over
Appointments change for ordinary reasons: work shifts, school pickup, transport or a new commitment. If the clinic is busy, a patient may have trouble reaching someone to move a visit, while staff later need to reconcile messages and calendars.
ClinicBot keeps the request in the original conversation. Patients can ask to reschedule or cancel through the clinic’s enabled messaging channels, and the assistant follows the configured appointment workflow. Clear confirmations help both the patient and staff understand what happened.
Availability and cancellation rules belong to the clinic. The AI should not promise a time or policy that the practice has not configured.
