Description

How It Works ⚙️

This workflow is a comprehensive, AI-powered system that acts as a virtual patient assistant for clinics. It automates the entire patient journey from appointment confirmation to post-procedure follow-up.

Appointment Trigger: The workflow starts when a new event is created in your Google Calendar for a patient appointment.
AI-Powered Education: The new appointment is sent to an OpenAI (GPT-4) node, which acts as a virtual clinic assistant. It instantly generates a personalized pre-procedure guide based on the appointment's details.
Automated Communication: The workflow then uses Twilio to send this AI-generated guide directly to the patient via SMS or WhatsApp, ensuring they are well-prepared for their appointment.
Post-Procedure Follow-up: After the appointment ends, a Wait node pauses the workflow for a set period. It then sends a personalized follow-up message—also generated by OpenAI—to the patient, encouraging them to provide feedback.
Staff Notification: A Slack notification is sent to the team once a follow-up message has been dispatched, keeping everyone informed and ready to act on incoming feedback.
