Overview

How It Works ⚙️

This workflow is a comprehensive, AI-powered system that acts as a virtual patient assistant for clinics. It automates the entire patient journey from appointment confirmation to post-procedure follow-up.

  1. Appointment Trigger: The workflow starts when a new event is created in your Google Calendar for a patient appointment.
  2. AI-Powered Education: The new appointment is sent to an OpenAI (GPT-4) node, which acts as a virtual clinic assistant. It instantly generates a personalized pre-procedure guide based on the appointment's details.
  3. Automated Communication: The workflow then uses Twilio to send this AI-generated guide directly to the patient via SMS or WhatsApp, ensuring they are well-prepared for their appointment.
  4. Post-Procedure Follow-up: After the appointment ends, a Wait node pauses the workflow for a set period. It then sends a personalized follow-up message—also generated by OpenAI—to the patient, encouraging them to provide feedback.
  5. Staff Notification: A Slack notification is sent to the team once a follow-up message has been dispatched, keeping everyone informed and ready to act on incoming feedback.

How to Set Up 🛠️

  1. Import the Workflow: Copy the provided workflow JSON and import it into your n8n instance.
  2. Configure Credentials:
