Ai – 24/7 WhatsApp Appointment Booking & Payment Assistant

Key Features:

  • Complete Self-Service Lifecycle: Customers can book, reschedule, or cancel appointments entirely via WhatsApp. The AI guides them step-by-step through patient selection, date choosing, and time slot picking.

  • Integrated Payment & Refund Automation: Supports secure online payments via Stripe or “Cash at Clinic” options. If a paid appointment is cancelled, the system automatically triggers a Stripe refund and updates the records.

  • Dynamic Availability Checking: The AI intelligently scans a Google Sheet (Config & Appointments) to calculate available 60-minute slots based on working hours, preventing double bookings.

  • Morning Reminder Service: An automated schedule trigger sends personalized WhatsApp reminders every day at 8:00 AM to all patients with appointments scheduled for that day.

  • Multi-Patient Management: Allows a single WhatsApp user to register and manage multiple profiles (e.g., family members) under one contact number, storing all details in a structured database.
