WhatsApp booking and payment links

Updated

wai turns a clinic's WhatsApp into a booked, paid appointment. Every WhatsApp lands in one inbox with the clinic's calls and email, wai drafts the reply in the patient's language with a booking link and a payment or deposit link, and your team sends it.

The deposit goes into the clinic's own Stripe account, and the booking lands in the doctor's diary on the patient's record.
