Industry solution
Appointment confirmation by call for clinics and medical centers
In a clinic a no-show costs more than a dropped inquiry does in other industries: it's a paid slot of a scarce specialist that can't be rebooked at the last minute, and a patient from the waitlist who never made it in. The front desk physically can't call everyone booked for tomorrow, so reminders go out selectively, and specialty doctors — narrow specialists, diagnostics, procedures — sit with empty slots. A voice AI agent calls 100% of bookings the day before, names the doctor, the service and the time, and confirms attendance for every patient.
The specifics of clinic booking are that a patient often needs not to confirm but to reschedule: work shifted, test results aren't ready for the appointment, the referral hasn't been issued yet. An SMS reminder doesn't solve this — it can't offer a free slot and book the patient into it. The agent runs the dialogue to a result: it confirms the visit, offers the nearest free slots with the same doctor and reschedules right in the call, while recording the reason for the reschedule or cancellation. The freed-up slot is immediately visible to the administrator so it can be offered to a patient from the waitlist.
Which industry pains this solves
No-shows and empty slots
A patient forgot the appointment or changed their mind — and the doctor sits idle in a paid slot that someone from the waitlist could have taken.
The front desk is overloaded
At peak hours the line is busy, calls pile into a queue and drop. Admins are torn between the counter and the phone.
How it works
A step-by-step scenario — the same steps as in the full use case, applied to your industry.
- 1
Feed in appointments and bookings
Tomorrow's visits come from your CRM, calendar or database via an integration — the platform reads from it who to call, when, and about what.
- 2
The voice agent calls your clients
The outbound AI agent calls to a script: it greets the client, names the date and service, and reminds them of the appointment. The client can interrupt (barge-in), and the dialogue flows naturally in the right language and TTS voice.
- 3
Confirm, reschedule or cancel in the dialogue
The agent understands the reply and carries the conversation to an outcome: it confirms the visit, offers and records a new date, or accepts a cancellation with a reason. The captured fields — status, time, reason — are validated right in the call.
- 4
The result goes to your CRM and calendar
The crmPush action finds the contact by number and writes the outcome: visit status, new date, a note and the transcript. Calendar updates and notifying the owner are set up with automation rules.
- 5
Hard cases go to a human
If the client asks for something beyond the script, the agent transfers the call to a front-desk person and stays on the line as a secretary: it prompts and keeps taking notes so nothing gets lost.
- 6
No-show and reschedule analytics
Every outbound call is analyzed automatically: the platform counts the share of confirmations, reschedules and cancellations, extracts the reasons for declines, and builds a trend dashboard by service, day and specialist.
Industry scenario
Calling patients booked with a specialist the day before the visit
The evening before, a list of patients booked for tomorrow with the cardiologist and for an ultrasound comes in from the EHR or schedule. The AI agent calls each one: "Reminder about your appointment with Dr. Ivanova tomorrow at 10:30, room 214 — will you be coming?" The patient can answer freely and interrupt the bot rather than pick items from a touch-tone menu. Those who confirm get the status "confirmed"; those who go silent or hang up get "couldn't reach," so the front desk follows up on them by hand, precisely, instead of calling the whole base.
One patient replies that they won't manage to get bloodwork done before the appointment and wants to reschedule. The agent offers the nearest free windows with the same cardiologist, the patient picks Thursday, and the agent reschedules right in the conversation, logging the reason "tests not ready." The freed slot for tomorrow is instantly visible to the administrator — it's offered to a patient from the cardiologist's waitlist.
Each call's outcome — visit status, new date, reschedule or cancellation reason plus the transcript — goes to the EHR and schedule via crmPush and automation rules; the responsible administrator gets a notification on the relevant cases. In the morning the front desk sees not "someone called" but a tagged schedule: who confirmed, who rescheduled, which slots freed up, and why patients aren't showing for specific doctors.
