Paste the link patients book on, or your clinic WhatsApp number. You get the QR code and a printable sheet for the counter, the prescription pad and the door.
No signup, no email, no watermark. Yours to print however you like.
Point it at a page where the patient can actually pick a slot. A homepage makes them go looking for the booking button, and most of them will not.
Optional. Leave it blank and the sheet says “Book an appointment”.
Patients stand there anyway, holding their phone, waiting for someone to look up. A code taped to the counter turns that dead minute into a booked follow-up — and nobody at the desk types a name or a number, so nothing is misspelled.
It goes home in the patient's hand and sits in a drawer until the next time something is wrong. That is the highest-intent surface a clinic owns, and most clinics print nothing on it but a phone number.
Works at 9pm on a Sunday, when the alternative is a patient finding a clinic that answers. This is the one that pays for itself, because it catches the visits you currently never hear about.
As a link rather than a picture — a QR image in a bio cannot be scanned by the phone that is displaying it. Same destination, different format.
A QR code is a picture of a link. All the value is in what opens when the patient scans it, and that is where most clinics lose the booking.
Point it at a homepage and the patient has to find the booking button, which on a phone, in a waiting room, one-handed, they often do not. Point it at a listing site and you are sending your own patient to a page that shows them three other clinics. Point it at a real booking page and they pick a slot, and it is done.
With FormAlert the code opens your own booking page with your real availability on it — your hours, your services, your prices, and the slots you have actually got. The patient fills in her own details on her own phone, so the spelling and the number are right; you get a WhatsApp alert the moment she books; she gets a confirmation, then a reminder 24 hours and 2 hours before; and after the visit she gets a Google review request without anyone at the clinic asking. All of that comes with the plan, ₹1,999 a month, and there is no per-booking fee — your bill does not go up because you had a good month.
A QR code that opens your appointment booking page when a patient points their phone camera at it. They scan it at your front desk, on your prescription pad, or on a poster at the door, and the booking form opens on their own phone — so they type their own name and their own number, and both are spelled right.
Yes. No account, no email, no watermark, and no limit on how many you make. The QR code and the printable sheet are yours to use however you like, including commercially. We make this because a clinic that prints one usually ends up wanting the booking system behind it, and that is a fair trade to state out loud.
No. A QR code is just a picture of a web address — there is nothing to expire and nothing that phones home to us. It keeps working as long as the link it points at works, which is why it is worth pointing it at an address you control rather than one a listing site might change.
Whatever your patients should reach first. A booking page is the strongest choice, because the patient lands on a form and finishes the job. A WhatsApp chat with your clinic is the next best — it takes one tap and opens a conversation already addressed to you, with the first message written. Pointing it at your website homepage is the weakest, because the patient then has to go and find the booking button.
Yes — use your clinic WhatsApp number instead, and the QR opens a chat with your clinic with an opening message already typed. Nobody has to save your number or search for you. If you want a real booking page with slots, timings and confirmations behind the code, that is what FormAlert is, and it is live in about 20 minutes.
Four places earn their keep: taped at the front desk where patients stand while waiting, printed on the prescription pad so it goes home with them, on the door so it works when you are closed, and on your Google Business Profile and Instagram bio as a link rather than an image.
The downloaded sheet is sized for A5 and scans reliably from about arm's length. If you are putting one on a door or a wall where people stand further back, print it at A4 or larger — the rule of thumb is that the QR square should be about a tenth as wide as the distance you want it scanned from.
Yes. Every phone camera sold in the last several years reads QR codes natively, and the page it opens is an ordinary web page. There is no app on either side.
Yes, and it comes with the plan. Every FormAlert clinic gets a booking page with its own address and a QR code for it, generated for you and reprintable whenever you want. This tool exists so you can have the QR without having the account first.
In short
FormAlert is a scheduling system for clinics in India that run on WhatsApp, built for doctors in independent private practice and small clinics. It runs the appointment side of a practice — online, QR code and WhatsApp booking, walk-ins and phone bookings in the same queue, automated WhatsApp reminders and Google review requests — so that patients get booked, reminded and asked for a review without anyone at the clinic typing a message, and the clinic's Google rating reflects the care it gives. FormAlert is an official Meta Tech Provider, which is what lets it create a WhatsApp Business API account in the clinic's own name rather than renting the clinic space on somebody else's. Patients book from a web page, by scanning a QR code at the clinic, or by messaging the clinic on WhatsApp, and the booking form can carry whatever questions the practice wants to ask, with photos and documents attached. The clinic confirms the appointment and marks the visit complete; FormAlert sends the confirmation, reminds the patient 24 hours and 2 hours before the visit, and asks for a Google review afterwards. Once the clinic's own WhatsApp number is connected, an AI booking assistant, included with the subscription, answers patients at any hour, books from the clinic's real calendar, and hands anything else to the clinic's staff. There is one plan, at ₹1,999/month or ₹17,999/year — the yearly price works out at ₹1,500 a month and saves ₹5,989 — and everything is on it: all of those messages, the clinic's own WhatsApp Business API number and templates, which Meta then bills the clinic for directly with no FormAlert markup, as many doctors as the clinic has with a calendar each, a login each for them and the front desk, a waiting-room queue display, a patient portal, and patients rescheduling or cancelling themselves inside WhatsApp. There is no setup fee, and nothing is priced per doctor, per seat or per booking. The WhatsApp number a clinic sends from changes once: during the 14-day free trial, which takes no card and includes 50 credits, messages go from FormAlert's shared WhatsApp number at ₹1 a message against that allowance, and the clinic can connect its own number, during the trial or after subscribing, through Meta's Embedded Signup inside FormAlert — a clinic already using the WhatsApp Business app can link the number it already runs, bringing its chats across — after which every message carries the clinic's own name. Meta verifies the business behind that number; a clinic whose Meta business is already verified connects the same day, and one that is not registered yet uses a free MSME Udyam certificate, issued from Aadhaar and PAN and usually the same day at udyamregistration.gov.in, or a GST certificate if it has one. FormAlert files that verification and the message templates with Meta on the clinic's behalf. Because that WhatsApp account is created inside the clinic's own Meta business portfolio, a clinic that stops paying FormAlert keeps the number and the account and can use them with any other software.
