Onboarding checklist

The order to set your clinic up in, from SMS OTP signup through slot rules to publishing your booking site, and what to check before going live.

Updated 8 days ago · 158 views

This is the order to set your clinic up in. Doing it in this order matters: slot rules sit underneath everything else, so getting them right first saves redoing work later.

Signup itself takes minutes. Configuration takes an afternoon if you already know your doctors' schedules — and considerably longer if you have to go and ask them, which is the usual delay.

Step 1 — Create your clinic

  1. Sign up with your mobile number. You receive an SMS OTP.
  2. Your clinic workspace is created automatically — no form, no approval queue.
  3. You are taken to billing to start your 14-day trial. No card is required.

The only decisions here are your clinic's name and the subdomain patients will use, because those appear on your booking site. Everything else can be changed later.

Step 2 — Clinic details

Go to Clinic Settings → Tenant details and fill in your clinic's name, address and contact number.

The contact number here is the one published to patients, so use the number you want patients to ring — not a personal mobile.

Step 3 — Add your locations

Open Locations and add each place you consult from. Even a single-location clinic needs one, because slot rules attach to a location.

Step 4 — Add your doctors

Open Doctors and add each doctor with their name, qualification, registration number and council, and their consultation fee.

Two things here are easy to skip and both cause problems later:

  • Registration number and council — these are shown to patients, and are required during video consultations so the patient can identify the practitioner.
  • Signature image — each doctor must upload their signature on their own profile before they can sign any prescription. Ask them to do this before their first clinic, not during it.

Step 5 — Create slot rules

This is the step that deserves your attention. Open Slot Rules and create one per doctor.

You describe the recurring shape of a week — consulting days, sessions within those days, consultation length, and how many patients each session holds. Then you set the split that matters most:

  • Online quota — how many seats the internet may book.
  • Counter quota — how many stay for the front desk.

Set online too high and a busy morning leaves your front desk unable to fit a walk-in. Set it too low and your booking page looks empty. Most clinics start conservative and raise it once they trust the flow.

See Understanding slot rules before you commit to a pattern.

Step 6 — Mark your holidays

Open Holidays and add closures you already know about. Marking a holiday removes the affected slots and flags any patients already booked on them for reschedule, rather than silently cancelling them.

Step 7 — Publish your booking site

Under Website, use Pages to arrange your content and Theme & SEO to set your colours, logo and search-engine details.

Publish this only after your slot rules are right — the site advertises the times those rules generate, and it is better to launch with correct times than to correct them in public.

If you have your own domain, point it at your site under Clinic Settings → Domain.

Step 8 — Add your staff

Add your receptionist and, if you have one, your accountant. Give each person their own login with the right role rather than sharing one account — otherwise nobody can answer "who cancelled this appointment" three weeks later.

See Roles and permissions.

Step 9 — Decide on prescriptions

If you want doctors prescribing on screen, switch it on under Clinic Settings → Digital prescriptions. It is controlled separately for walk-in visits and for video consultations, so turning one on does not turn on the other.
