clinic-front-desk-confirm

Clinic Front Desk Confirm

Use this skill when a clinic or practice front desk has explicit authority to place one disclosed phone call to confirm an existing booking. The call asks whether the patient can keep the slot, captures kept / cancelled / move request / no answer, and returns structured JSON for a human to apply.

This skill does not book, move, or cancel calendar events. A human reviews the result before any diary change.

Runnable product demo: MNLABSUK/appointment-confirm (FastAPI call desk, practice mode default).

When To Use

• Confirm a booked hygiene, GP, physio, or vet slot the recipient already knows about
• Capture a cancel or a requested move to a window the desk can honour
• Produce an evidence-backed disposition for reception staff
• Demo CALL-E appointment confirmation with a no-network practice path

When Not To Use

• First-contact sales, lead qualification, or unsolicited marketing
• Medical advice, diagnostics, emergency, collections, or political calls
• Calling a number the operator did not provide and authorize
• Hidden retries, recurring reminders, or automatic calendar writes
• Collecting payment, ID numbers, or health details beyond appointment logistics

Required Inputs

• who: patient / guest display name
• when: human-readable or ISO appointment time
• where: clinic / practice display name (disclosed on the call)
• purpose: reason for visit (for example hygiene, follow-up)
• phone: E.164 destination the operator owns or has consent to call
• mode: dry-run (default) or live
• Optional scenario for practice mode: confirmed | declined | reschedule_requested | no_answer

Preflight

1. Confirm the operator authorized this one confirmation call.
2. Confirm the phone is E.164 and came from the booking workflow.
3. Default to practice / dry-run. Refuse live mode without CALLE_API_KEY and explicit operator intent.
4. Preview the opening script before any live CALL-E plan.
