The one-line pitch

"Your clinic's WhatsApp conversations don't have to go silent after 24 hours — send an approved follow-up template and stay reachable."

What to say

  • This closes a real gap in WhatsApp's own rules: after 24 hours of inactivity, the WhatsApp Business Platform blocks

any business from sending a free-form message — that's a WhatsApp/Meta policy, not something any clinic software can work around. What Dentolize adds is a fast, in-context way to use the one thing WhatsApp does still allow (an approved template) without leaving the conversation.

  • It works from both the clinic's web dashboard and the mobile app, so front-desk and on-the-go staff have the same

option.

  • It's low-friction by design: pick a message, see exactly what the patient will read, send. No extra approval step

inside Dentolize itself (the template approval already happened with Meta beforehand).

What not to say

  • Don't claim this bypasses WhatsApp's rules. It doesn't — it uses the officially sanctioned mechanism (an

approved template) for reaching a contact outside the messaging window. Messaging that implies "get around WhatsApp's restrictions" risks setting the wrong expectation.

  • Don't claim it can send anything. Only messages whose only variable content is the patient's name qualify — a

reminder that needs an appointment date or doctor name won't show up in the picker. See Which Templates Qualify before promising specific use cases.

  • This feature is unreleased. Nothing here should be described as "available now" in outward-facing material

until it ships.

Good use-case framing

  • Re-engaging a patient who asked a question and then went quiet.
  • Sending a short "we're still here, reply to continue" nudge after a reminder went unanswered for a day.
  • Not a fit for: anything that needs to reference a specific appointment, invoice, or amount — that still needs the

patient to reply first (or use another channel).
