- Online and in-person appointment scheduling and calendar management
- AI assistant that handles inquiries and books appointments 24/7

Features
5 questionsHow does the AI assistant work?
Booklyfy's AI assistant is powered by advanced large language models and trained on healthcare-specific conversation patterns. It acts as a 24/7 virtual receptionist for your clinic.
- Handles incoming patient inquiries via WhatsApp, SMS, webchat, and email
- Books, reschedules, and cancels appointments autonomously
- Answers common clinic questions (hours, services, pricing, directions)
- Learns from your clinic's specific services, doctors, and schedules over time
- Escalates complex or sensitive cases to human staff with full conversation context
You configure the AI once during onboarding — it handles the rest automatically.
What messaging channels are supported?
Booklyfy supports four communication channels, all managed from a single unified inbox:
- WhatsApp Business: The most popular channel for Turkish and international patients — full two-way messaging and appointment automation
- SMS: Reliable delivery for reminders and one-way notifications
- Email: Appointment confirmations, follow-ups, and newsletters
- Webchat widget: Embeddable chat on your clinic website, powered by the AI assistant
All conversations across all channels appear in one team inbox — no more switching between apps.
Can patients book their own appointments?
Yes — Booklyfy provides two self-service booking options for patients:
- Online booking link: A shareable URL (e.g., booklyfy.com/yourclinic) where patients can view availability and book 24/7 without calling
- Webchat widget: Embedded on your clinic website, the AI assistant guides patients through booking conversationally in natural language
Both options sync instantly with your clinic calendar, so there are never double bookings or scheduling conflicts.
How do automated reminders work?
Automated reminders are sent to patients before their appointment via SMS and/or email at intervals you configure — for example, 48 hours before, 24 hours before, and 2 hours before.
- Reminder timing and channel are fully configurable per appointment type
- Patients can confirm, cancel, or reschedule directly from the reminder message
- Cancellations automatically free up the slot in your calendar and can trigger a waitlist notification
- Clinics using automated reminders see an average 40% reduction in no-shows
