Book teleconsultations with a simple WhatsApp message — no app download required

Requiring an app download to book a doctor's consultation loses patients before they even start.

01

A patient wants to consult a doctor for a minor issue. They land on your telemedicine site and see 'Download our app to book.' They close the tab. The barrier between intent and action is one step too many.

02

Your teleconsult platform has a mobile website, an iOS app, and an Android app — but many patients, especially in tier-2 and tier-3 cities, prefer WhatsApp over any new app. You're not on the channel they're most comfortable with.

03

Every step in the booking process — account creation, symptom entry, payment — is a potential drop-off point. WhatsApp-based booking reduces those steps to a conversation, cutting drop-off dramatically.

The solution

WhatsPortal makes teleconsultation booking as simple as sending a WhatsApp message.

Conversational booking flow

Patients message your WhatsApp, choose their speciality, select a doctor, pick a time slot, and receive a confirmed teleconsult link — all within a structured WhatsApp conversation.

  • Patients message your WhatsApp, choose their speciality, select a doctor, pick a time slot, and receive a confirmed teleconsult link
  • all within a structured WhatsApp conversation
  • Fully automated system
  • Real-time notifications

Symptom and history collection

Before confirming the booking, the bot collects a brief symptom description and relevant history — so the doctor has context before the call starts.

Pre-consult reminder

WhatsPortal sends a reminder 30 minutes before the consultation with the doctor's name, time, and join link — reducing no-shows on the patient side.

How it works

Streamlined automation in four simple steps.

  1. 01

    Connect your doctor availability

    Link your booking system to WhatsPortal via webhook. Available slots sync automatically and are presented to patients in the conversation.

  2. 02

    Patient books via WhatsApp

    They choose speciality, doctor, and time. The bot confirms, collects payment link, and sends a reminder before the call.

  3. 03

    Doctor receives a prepared patient

    Context collected during booking is available to the doctor before the call. Less time on history, more time on clinical consultation.

  4. 04

    Sync patient records

    Appointment times, booking confirmations, and patient documents are instantly logged in your hospital management system (HMS) or CRM.

FAQ

Common questions about healthcare teleconsultation booking

Can patients choose their specific doctor or just a speciality?

Both flows are possible. The bot can present available doctors within a speciality, letting the patient choose — or assign based on availability if you prefer a simpler flow.

Does this work for follow-up consultations with the same doctor?

Yes. Returning patients can be identified by their WhatsApp number and offered a direct re-booking with their previous doctor — making follow-up frictionless.

Can the payment be collected before the consultation?

Yes. You can include a payment link (Razorpay, UPI, or other) in the confirmation message. The consultation link is released after payment is confirmed.

What does WhatsPortal cost?

Free plan: ₹0, 100 messages/month. Standard: ₹1,199/month (5,000 messages). Premium: ₹2,499/month (unlimited). All in INR via Razorpay.
