Multi-Doctor Clinic Chat Assignment Rules
Searches like “assign Instagram DM to doctor dental,” “multi dentist LINE OA routing,” and “which clinician owns aesthetic consult chat” appear as soon as more than one provider shares a brand inbox.
Extend branch routing logic: multi-branch shared inbox ownership — to clinician assignment without bypassing reception.
Default Rule
Reception owns first reply; doctors own escalations
- Intake and scheduling stay with reception packs
- Clinical questions escalate with a three-line summary
- Doctors do not become the after-hours catch-all
Routing Keys
What to tag before assigning
Treatment interest
Implant vs hygiene vs injectables changes who should see the thread. High-value path: dental high-value treatment follow-up.
Language and travel context
Bilingual clinic chat handoff, medical travel clinic enquiry playbook Thailand.
Availability — not popularity contests in the group chat
Assignment should reflect calendar reality, not who replies fastest on a personal phone.
Anti-Patterns
What to ban explicitly
- Forwarding full threads to doctors’ personal LINE
- Patients collecting private doctor numbers from ads
- Doctors quoting conflicting fee bands
Price control: clinic price transparency chat ethics. Ownership: personal phone vs shared inbox.
