Extra feature

Sending automatic appointment reminders on WhatsApp

Wazzy sends the reminder on WhatsApp by itself, and if the patient confirms, cancels or asks to move the appointment, the schedule updates on its own. No calls from your team, and no gaps that nobody notices until the next day.

What a no-show really costs

Cut no-shows at your clinic with automatic WhatsApp reminders

A patient who does not turn up leaves more than a gap in the schedule: a practitioner with nothing to do, time that can never be billed, and often another patient on the waiting list who would gladly have taken it. That is the difference between a schedule that holds itself together and one that depends on every patient remembering.

Avoiding that gap with Wazzy could not be simpler.

From a booked appointment to a confirmed one

Three steps, nothing done by hand

From the moment the appointment is booked to the moment it is confirmed or moved, your team does not have to touch a thing.

The reminder goes out

Wazzy sends the reminder on WhatsApp the day before the appointment, with the date, the time and the practitioner.

The patient replies

They can confirm, cancel or ask to move it by tapping a button or simply writing back. No phone call, no app to open.

The schedule updates itself

If the patient cancels, the slot opens up. If they ask to move it, Wazzy checks availability and sorts out a new date with them.

What changes in your clinic

Fewer gaps, fewer calls, more control

All of this happens on its own, from the first day you switch the feature on.

So your team stops spending its day chasing gaps by hand.

  • Fewer no-shows

    The reminder arrives on the channel the patient already uses every day, not a call or a text they may never answer.

  • Less work for your team

    Nobody has to ring round one by one to confirm tomorrow’s schedule.

  • Gaps spotted straight away

    A cancellation frees the slot there and then, not when somebody checks WhatsApp in the morning.

  • Nothing for the patient to learn

    Confirming or cancelling is as simple as replying to a message.

Nothing goes unrecorded

Every confirmation and every change, in your daily brief

Every confirmation, cancellation and change shows up on its own in the daily brief in the reception panel. Each morning you will know how many appointments were confirmed, how many moved and which slots opened up, without reading back through a single conversation.

No more guessing. With real figures in front of you, you can see what is working and decide what to change.
