Sending automated appointment reminders via WhatsApp

Wazzy sends the automated reminder via WhatsApp, and if the patient confirms, cancels, or asks to reschedule, the calendar updates automatically. No calls from your team, no gaps that no one notices until the next day.

THE REAL COST OF A NO-SHOW

Reduce no-shows at your clinic by 34% with automatic reminders via WhatsApp

A patient who doesn’t show up doesn’t just leave a gap in the schedule: it leaves a healthcare professional idle, time that can no longer be billed, and, often, another patient on the waiting list who could have filled that slot. Our studies on automatic appointment reminders show an average reduction of 34% in no-shows compared to not sending any reminder at all. The difference between a schedule that runs on its own and one that depends on each patient’s memory.

Avoiding that gap with Wazzy couldn't be easier.

FROM THE SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT TO THE AUTOMATED REMINDER

Three steps, zero manual intervention

From the moment the appointment is scheduled until it is confirmed or rescheduled, your team doesn't have to touch a thing.

Automatic sending

Wazzy sends the reminder via WhatsApp the day before the appointment, including the date, time, and professional.

The patient responds

You can confirm, cancel or request to change the appointment by tapping a button or simply replying by text. There is no need to call or log into any app.

The schedule updates automatically

If the patient cancels or requests a change, Wazzy automatically reschedules according to your clinic's real-time availability. Your team doesn't have to check the chat to know what happened.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions about sending automated appointment reminders

What is an automated WhatsApp appointment reminder?

It is an automated message sent via WhatsApp to notify a patient about an already scheduled appointment, allowing them to confirm, cancel, or request to reschedule it directly from the chat, without manual intervention from the clinic staff.

The WhatsApp reminder allows button responses (confirm, cancel, reschedule) and automatic rescheduling, while an SMS is plain text without that interaction: to manage a change, the patient has to call the clinic. In addition, WhatsApp has higher open rates than SMS, being the channel most patients already use daily.

The message includes quick reply buttons (confirm, cancel, change) in addition to allowing free-text replies. It does not require the patient to know how to use any special WhatsApp feature.

Wazzy automatically reschedules according to the clinic's availability or frees up the slot so another patient can take it, without your team having to intervene.
