No-show rebooking texts with real open times

When a patient misses a visit, it waits, rechecks the booking is still a no-show and drafts a kind text with three real open times. Replies are read for intent, and anything that asks for a call or a person is handed off.

What it does

  • Reads the appointment back after a delay to confirm the no-show is real
  • Skips anyone opted out, already rebooked or already being helped
  • Drafts a text with three open slots with the same team member
  • Classifies each reply as a pick, a new time request, a question or a decline
  • Posts a daily summary of rebooked, waiting and handed off

Your approval boundaries

Approval required

These actions always wait for your yes:

  • Sending any text to a patient
  • Booking the new visit
  • Replies that ask for a call or raise a question

You decide what happens next.

More about this workflow

This setup is for operators and managers who keep the busywork moving. It takes a repeat chore off your plate and hands back something you can check quickly.

First, it reads the appointment back after a delay to confirm the no-show is real. Next, it skips anyone opted out, already rebooked or already being helped. Then it drafts a text with three open slots with the same team member. After that, it classifies each reply as a pick, a new time request, a question or a decline. Finally, it posts a daily summary of rebooked, waiting and handed off. It works with your CRM, calendar and chat, each on its own login with limited access.

You get the prep work done and waiting for you. The agent stops and asks for your yes before sending any text to a patient, booking the new visit and replies that ask for a call or raise a question, and says plainly if a step cannot be undone.

Run your workflow

Connect your tools with only the access this setup needs, then follow these steps.

Steps

Do these in order. Test on old data before it touches live work.

  1. 1Connect HubSpot CRM with its own login, not yours. Grant read scopes, plus notes write.
  2. 2Connect Google Calendar with its own login, not yours. Grant read-only calendar scope.
  3. 3Connect Slack with its own login, not yours. Grant a bot token in the channels it needs.
  4. 4Paste the prompt where your harness takes instructions. See the note under the Copy button.
  5. 5Do a dry run on old or test data first. Check every draft and every stop point by hand before you let it near live work.
  6. 6Read its log after the first real run. Only widen access once a week of runs looks clean.

Safeguards and trust score

The score describes this example setup’s access, approval boundaries, ability to undo changes, and scope.

Access18 / 30

Can draft things that send or spend, so it sits close to risky actions.

Human approval30 / 30

Waits for a yes on: sending any text to a patient, booking the new visit, replies that ask for a call or raise a question.

Undo and logs14 / 20

Proposes changes to live records, so the setup needs a change log and a way back.

Scope16 / 20

Runs on its own login across 3 tools. Fewer connections means a smaller blast radius.

How to raise it

  • Access: Take away its ability to send, post or spend. Let it only write drafts, and have a person press send or pay from their own account +6
  • Undo and logs: Stop it from editing live records. Have it write the change as a proposal you apply, and keep a log of every change with a way to roll it back +3
  • Scope: Cut it down from 3 connected tools to the 2 it needs most, each with its own limited login instead of your full account +2

Do all of these to reach 89, up from 78.
