Creating or Cancelling a Last-Minute Slot
TurnUp World helps you efficiently manage unexpected availability by creating last-minute appointments for eligible patients. This allows you to quickly fill newly available slots in your agenda.
Step 1: Log in to TurnUp World
-
Go to TurnUp World and log in using your personal account credentials.
-
Open the menu and navigate to the Last-Minute module.
Step 2: Create a last-minute appointment
-
Click the Create Last-Minute button.
-
Select the practitioner’s agenda for which a time slot has become available.
-
Select the date, start time, and end time of the slot.
-
Choose whether the last-minute appointment should be created for a specific treatment type.
-
You will now see a list of eligible patients.
You can optionally apply extra filters:-
Duration equal to or shorter than the available slot
(choose whether only exact matches or also shorter appointments are eligible) -
Language
-
Existing patients and/or new patients
Keep in mind that the more filters you apply (treatment type, duration, language, existing/new patients), the smaller the list of eligible patients becomes. Additional filters work best when your waitlist is large and diverse.
-
Step 3: Create the last-minute appointment
- Click Create Last-Minute.
What happens next?
- Eligible patients are notified of the last-minute appointment via email, SMS or the TurnUp app (if installed). Patients can book the appointment in just a few clicks. Booking works on a first come, first served basis: the first patient who accepts gets the appointment.
- Your practice receives an email confirming that the last-minute has been created.
This does not mean the appointment has already been booked. - Once the appointment is booked, both the patient and the practice receive a confirmation with all appointment details.
