Frequently asked questions

How long after a missed call does the AI attempt a callback?

You set callback timing in the dashboard. Common workflows attempt callback within 1–4 hours during business hours, or first thing the next morning for after-hours calls. Urgent calls are flagged for immediate manual staff follow-up.

What information is in the missed call summary?

Caller name, phone, reason for calling, urgency level, caller type (new patient vs. existing), and any appointment or medical information they shared. Staff receives this in a formatted summary ready for EMR entry.

Can the workflow integrate with our text message system?

Yes. If a patient opts in to SMS, the system can send appointment reminders, callback confirmations, and follow-up messages. All SMS is compliant with HIPAA and state regulations.

What happens if the callback is unsuccessful multiple times?

After your set number of attempts, the system escalates to manual staff follow-up or generates a report for your team to review. No patient is left in limbo—your staff always has visibility and can take next steps.

Does the workflow work for both new and established patients?

Yes. For new patients, the AI gathers intake information during the call. For established patients, the AI looks up their record and notes the reason for callback. Either way, your staff has full context before reaching out.
