Requests your front desk handles

Start with the requests
your team gets every day.

Office questions, appointment requests and staff follow-up are useful places to start. Define what Korenact can handle and which requests your team should review.

Example conversation

“Can I book an office appointment next Thursday?”

What time works for you? I’ll need a few details before I can check the calendar.

Exact date and time
Request captured

Checks before action

  • Required scheduling details
  • Permission to book
  • Staff approval if required

What happens next

A booking is confirmed only after the connected calendar reports success.

Example only. Your clinic must set up and approve the workflow before using it with patients.

Choosing a task

What should happen
with each request?

Review what starts the request, the rules that apply and when staff take over. Available features still need your organization’s setup and approval.
