What can be customized?

You can customize both the content and the format of your WhatsApp reminders:

Message text: appointment reminders, confirmations, instructions, follow-ups
Different templates: different wording for different visit types
Clinic signature: your clinic name, phone number, address, and support details
Attachments: files, images, videos, voice notes, PDFs
Keywords: patients can reply with keywords and receive an automatic response

This means you can build clinic-ready WhatsApp communication that feels professional — not generic.

Attach files, images, videos, and voice notes

Many clinics reduce confusion (and missed appointments) by attaching helpful information directly in WhatsApp:

PDF instructions (pre-op, pre-treatment, fasting, forms)
Images (parking map, building entrance, clinic directions)
Short videos (what to expect, how to prepare)
Voice messages (personal tone, especially for VIP/private clinics)
Clinic policies (late arrival rules, cancellation policy)

Sending the right attachment at the right time reduces last-minute cancellations and creates a smoother front-desk workflow.

Add your clinic signature automatically

Every reminder message can include a clean clinic signature so patients always know who the message is from:

Example clinic signature

— [Clinic Name]
[Clinic Phone Number]
[Clinic Address]
[Clinic Website]

This increases trust and reduces “Who is this?” questions.

Keyword-based auto replies (smart WhatsApp automation)

You can configure the system so the clinic’s WhatsApp bot sends a response when patients reply with a keyword. This is a powerful way to reduce front-desk workload.

Example keywords clinics often use:

YES → confirm the appointment
NO → request rescheduling
ADDRESS → send clinic location details
PARKING → send parking instructions (image or text)
INSTRUCTIONS → send preparation steps (PDF/video)
PAYMENT → send payment policy details

The bot can respond automatically with your clinic’s specific information — based on your settings.
