FAQs
Common questions about appointment scheduling software
How does appointment scheduling in OpdNest reduce no-shows?+
OpdNest sends automatic appointment confirmation and reminder messages via WhatsApp, SMS, and email. The default sequence is: confirmation at booking, reminder 24 hours before, and a final reminder 1 hour before the appointment. Clinics using this system report a 30–50% reduction in no-shows within the first month.
Does OpdNest support multi-doctor appointment scheduling?+
Yes. OpdNest manages independent calendars for every doctor in your clinic. You can view appointments by doctor, by day, or as a consolidated clinic-wide calendar. Each doctor can have different working hours, slot durations, and break times.
Can OpdNest handle both booked appointments and walk-ins?+
Yes. OpdNest shows booked appointments and walk-in patients in the same queue view. Your reception staff can register walk-ins and slot them into available gaps — or add them to a waiting list — without disrupting the pre-booked schedule.
Does OpdNest support online patient appointment booking?+
Currently, appointments are managed by your clinic reception staff via OpdNest. Patients can request appointments via WhatsApp (which your staff receives in the CRM). A patient-facing online booking portal is on our 2026 roadmap.
What WhatsApp integration does OpdNest use for appointment reminders?+
OpdNest supports both WhatsApp Cloud API (via Meta's official Business API — requires a WhatsApp Business Account) and WhatsApp Web integration. WhatsApp Cloud API enables fully automated message sending; WhatsApp Web requires a phone to be connected but works with a basic WhatsApp Business account.
Can I customise appointment reminder messages?+
Yes. You can customise the reminder message template, timing (how many hours before), and language (English or Hindi). You can also add clinic-specific instructions (e.g. 'Please bring your previous reports').
Does the scheduling software prevent double-bookings?+
Yes. OpdNest has automatic conflict detection. If you try to book two patients in the same slot for the same doctor, the system alerts you. You can configure slot duration and buffer time between appointments to prevent accidental overlaps.
Is appointment scheduling included in the base plan?+
Yes. Appointment scheduling — including multi-doctor calendars, conflict detection, and basic reminders — is included in the Starter plan at ₹399/month. WhatsApp Cloud API integration is an optional add-on.
