How Waitlist Recovery Works

An autonomous 4-stage pipeline that eliminates empty treatment chairs.

01

Cancellation Detected in Real Time

A patient cancels their booking in Jane App, Doctolib, or Google Calendar. SpinaDesk's webhook catches the event within seconds.

02

Smart Waitlist Matching

SpinaDesk identifies waitlisted patients matching practitioner preference, day of week, and time of day (morning vs. afternoon).

03

Autonomous 10-Minute SMS Offer

An SMS is dispatched to candidate #1 with a 10-minute priority reservation window. If expired, candidate #2 is automatically contacted.

04

Instant Calendar Rebooking

The patient replies '1' to confirm. SpinaDesk immediately updates the slot status in your EHR calendar and sends confirmation SMS.
