Why it works

Why WhatsApp is the right channel in Malaysia

In Malaysia, most clinic communication already happens on WhatsApp. Reminders meet patients where they already respond.

Fast confirmation

Patients reply quickly when the message is clear and short.

Lower no-shows

Reminders reduce forgetfulness and prompt timely reschedules.

Less staff load

Automation sends reminders consistently, without manual work.

FAQ

WhatsApp reminders FAQs

What reminder timing works best?

Most clinics start with T-24h and T-2h reminders. It’s simple and effective.

Do reminders work without online booking?

They help, but online booking + reminders works best: booking creates the slots, reminders protect them.

Is it PDPA-friendly to message patients?

Clinics should capture consent for messaging. LamaniHub supports consent tracking so clinics can operate responsibly.
