Appointment Reschedule and Waitlist Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

A cancelled appointment is lost income if the slot sits empty, but calling down a waitlist takes time a busy front desk does not have. When an appointment is cancelled, this agent finds clients on the waitlist who fit the slot by service type, provider, length and their stated availability. It ranks them and drafts offers to the best matches, in order, by text or email. It watches for replies. If nobody replies within the set time, it moves to the next people on the list. When someone accepts, the receptionist approves the booking, and the agent confirms it and updates reminders. Edge case: a slot that needs special preparation, like a longer first visit, is only offered to clients who fit that visit type.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

An example run

What happensOn Tuesday a 45-minute slot opened for Thursday at 10 a.m. The agent sent offers to the top three matches. After one hour no one had replied, so the check failed and it offered the slot to the next three. One client accepted within 15 minutes. The receptionist approved the booking, and the agent sent the confirmation and reminder.
