WhatsApp AI Integration for Lead, Booking, and Support Automation
Boolean & Beyond integrated AI into WhatsApp workflows to convert inbound conversations into structured, trackable business outcomes.
Overview
CareBridge depends heavily on WhatsApp for discovery, appointment scheduling, and follow-ups. We implemented a secure AI assistant that handles high-volume conversations in real time while maintaining clinical safety rules and smooth human handoff.
The Problem
Manual WhatsApp handling created response delays, missed leads, and fragmented booking data. Teams needed faster response times without compromising answer quality or patient trust.
Key Challenges
High-Volume Repetitive Queries
Most messages were repetitive: availability, pricing, rescheduling, and preparation instructions. Human teams were overwhelmed during peak hours and weekends.
Unstructured Conversation Data
Important details like preferred clinic, urgency, and requested service were buried in chat text, making CRM updates and analytics unreliable.
Safety and Escalation Requirements
Certain topics required immediate escalation to trained staff. The AI needed strict escalation triggers for sensitive medical and payment-related conversations.
Integration with Existing Systems
Booking, reminders, and follow-up processes already existed in legacy tools. The WhatsApp AI layer had to integrate without disrupting those operations.
How We Built It
Conversation Mapping & Intent Design
Defined high-frequency intents, conversational states, and escalation rules. Created multilingual response patterns tailored to patient communication tone and service categories.
WhatsApp and Backend Integration
Integrated WhatsApp Business APIs with scheduling, CRM, and notification services. Implemented structured event pipelines for every conversation step and booking update.
AI Layer and Guardrails
Built RAG-enabled response generation with policy filters and slot-filling for data capture. Added confidence thresholds for automatic human handoff when ambiguity or risk is detected.
Operational Rollout
Launched by region and service line, monitored live outcomes, and iterated prompts and flows weekly. Trained support teams on takeover controls and escalation dashboards.
Solution Highlights
Appointment Copilot on WhatsApp
AI captures patient intent, suggests available slots, confirms bookings, and sends reminders with minimal agent intervention.
Structured Lead Qualification
Every conversation is normalized into structured fields and pushed to CRM, improving follow-up speed and lead attribution quality.
Smart Escalation Workflow
Clinical or payment-sensitive intents are escalated instantly with conversation summaries, reducing risk and response time.
Lifecycle Messaging Automation
Pre-visit instructions, post-visit nudges, and feedback collection run automatically through secure WhatsApp flows.
Technical Deep Dive
The system used event-driven message orchestration with idempotent handlers for inbound and outbound messages. Intent detection combined lightweight classification with LLM validation to reduce false routing. Retrieval responses were constrained using domain templates and policy filters to keep medical messaging safe and consistent. Conversation state was stored in a session graph so AI and human agents shared the same context during handoff. Data pipelines captured every interaction as structured events for conversion, retention, and SLA analytics.
