Frequently asked questions
Can I use Appointment Reminder App with Practo Ray?
Yes, alongside it. Export upcoming appointments from your clinic software as CSV, or send them through the booking webhook, and Appointment Reminder App sends the reminders, collects confirmations and offers cancelled slots to your waitlist. We could not find a public Practo Ray API, so there is no direct connector.
