The app they already have open
Confirmations, reminders, forms and scripts go out over WhatsApp, which most South African patients read within minutes. Email takes days, if ever.
Communications
WhatsApp, SMS and email sent from one place and logged in one place, with delivery status on every message.
Sent, delivered or failed, recorded per message. Reception knows exactly who still needs a phone call.
Confirmations, reminders, forms and scripts go out over WhatsApp, which most South African patients read within minutes. Email takes days, if ever.
When WhatsApp reports a message undelivered, Saya rebuilds it as an SMS, sends it, and remembers that this patient is an SMS patient.
Every patient-facing send is recorded against the patient and the appointment, with the message body kept so you can see what they actually received.
Failed and undelivered messages collect in one feed with a reason in plain English. "This number isn't on WhatsApp" is useful. "63003" isn't.
Reminders, confirmations and form invitations send themselves. Everything else is two clicks from the patient record.
What happens inside Saya, from the first click to the patient record.
WhatsApp, SMS and email are sent the same way and logged the same way, defaulting to whichever the patient prefers.
Queued, sent, delivered, undelivered, failed. Status only moves forward, so a late callback can't downgrade something that already arrived.
Resend on a different channel straight from the log. The retry stays linked to the original so the trail holds together.
Confirmations, reminders, follow-ups and intake invitations run off approved templates, so the wording doesn't drift between staff.
