Automated Waitlist

Fill every slot
before it costs you

If you're already using Waitlist, the upgrade is worth it. The new version checks for openings more frequently throughout the day and prioritizes the patients most likely to accept — typically those who joined most recently. Same feature. Significantly smarter. Ask your account manager to switch you over.

What the upgraded Waitlist looks like in practice

This ophthalmology practice — 10 locations, 40 providers — opted into the latest version of Waitlist. Here's what happened in the first 30 days:

2,123

1,914

211

patients added to the Waitlist since launch earlier appointment offers sent automatically patients moved to earlier dates — an average of 32 days sooner

 

Slots that would have sat empty. Patients who needed care sooner. Both problems solved.

Secure texting

HIPAA-compliant,
no extra app required

Patients get a secure link. You get peace of mind. Two-factor authentication keeps every message protected — without asking anyone to download anything.

Message templates

The right message,
every time

Stop writing the same texts from scratch. Pre-built templates keep your team consistent and your patients informed — from appointment reminders to insurance requests.

Booked while you
were with a patient

Patients search. They see your availability. They book. No phone call, no interruption, no missed opportunity. Every hour your practice is closed is still an opportunity to improve slot utilization — capture those bookings 24/7 directly from Google Search.

Coming soon

A new look is coming — and your patients
will notice

We're redesigning the patient-facing experience from the ground up. Cleaner, faster, and built around how patients expect to book appointments.
