WEBINAR - Cliniko To Autopilot Sync (How It Works)

Created by Damian Murray, Modified on Fri, 15 May at 6:15 AM by Damian Murray

This video explains how Cliniko integrates with GoHighLevel through Practice Autopilot™ to automate patient recalls, reactivations, cancellations, DNAs, reviews and ongoing patient communication for private healthcare clinics.

Viewers will learn:

  • How the Cliniko → Autopilot sync works, including the near real-time 2-minute integration delay

  • How patients are automatically segmented into:
    • Active Patients (patients with future appointments booked)
    • Dormant Patients (patients without follow-up appointments)

  • Why recalls and reactivations are one of the most powerful features of Practice Autopilot™

  • How automated workflows help reduce dormant patients and keep diaries fuller

  • How recall codes such as:
    • R6W (6-week recall)
    • R12M (12-month recall)
      automatically trigger customised patient journeys


  • Why Medical Alerts in Cliniko are used to control recall workflows

  • How automated SMS and email reminders are sent when patients fall off their treatment plan

  • How the system handles different patient scenarios, including:
    • Loyal routine care patients
    • DNA (Did Not Attend) patients
    • Frequent cancellers
    • Discharged patients
    • One-off treatment patients

  • How DNA and cancellation workflows work with greater urgency to encourage rebooking

  • How discharge and “no recall” pathways differ

  • How review requests and Google review links can be automated

  • How clinics can stop all communications instantly using “#NoRecall”

  • How all email and SMS templates can be fully customised to reflect each clinic’s branding, tone and messaging

  • How workflows can be adapted for specific treatments such as:
    • Routine podiatry
    • Nail surgery
    • Verruca treatments
    • Orthotics
    • Biomechanics follow-ups

  • How clinics can create completely bespoke automations using custom Cliniko tags

  • How the built-in Practice Autopilot™ Helpdesk and Knowledge Base support users with setup and troubleshooting

  • How email templates, colours, logos and branding can be edited without technical knowledge

  • Real-world examples of how Foot Medic™ Cardiff uses these workflows successfully in practice

The video also demonstrates the wider philosophy behind Practice Autopilot™ - using automation to improve patient retention, reduce lost revenue from cancellations and DNAs, increase reviews, and create more consistent patient follow-up without adding extra admin work for clinic teams.
