Use cases / Feedback after the appointment

Feedback in the chat, not on Google

The situation

The appointment is over, the customer walks out - and you never find out how happy she really was. The happy ones stay quiet, the unhappy ones even more so - until a two-star Google review pops up weeks later that you never saw coming. A quick check-in the next day would have been enough to solve the problem in a conversation.

How SmartChat solves it

With SmartChat, you send a friendly WhatsApp check-in the day after the appointment. Happy customers appreciate the attention - and unhappy ones tell you right in the chat instead of going public online. That way you solve problems while they're still small and collect honest feedback your business can build on.

Set up in 3 steps

  1. 1

    Get the opt-in at the appointment: your customers sign up via a QR code at the front desk and confirm with a double opt-in - GDPR-compliant.

  2. 2

    Write your feedback message: one honest question and one easy way to answer, like a number from 1 to 5 - that's all it takes.

  3. 3

    Send after the appointment and respond: the question goes out the next day - and you personally follow up in the chat on any critical replies.

FAQs

Do customers actually reply to a message like this?

Replying takes almost no effort: the message lands on WhatsApp with a 98% open rate, and typing a number takes seconds. And even people who don't reply remember that you asked.

What do I do with critical feedback?

You reply right in the same chat, apologize, and offer a solution - a touch-up appointment, a goodwill gesture. That kind of fast response is exactly what keeps frustration from turning into a public review.

Can the feedback question go out automatically?

Yes. You set up recurring messages like this with automations, available on the Basic plan and up - set it up once, and SmartChat checks in after every appointment on its own.

We're a medical practice - is WhatsApp even appropriate for us?

Yes, with the right tone: patients are addressed formally and the tone stays professional. Every patient has signed up with a double opt-in beforehand - the consent is documented and GDPR-compliant.
