FAQ

Common questions

Do we need our own Twilio account?

Clinics can use platform-provided Twilio or configure clinic-level overrides. Templates and event toggles are always per clinic.

Is WhatsApp included?

Yes — WhatsApp and SMS share the same event engine. Use BOTH mode or channel-specific per event.

Are messages PDPL-compliant?

Consent and opt-out should follow your clinic policy. Clinit records SEND_PATIENT_MESSAGE in the audit log for every attempt.

What about Telegram?

Telegram is for staff clinic linking and ops alerts — patient reminders use SMS/WhatsApp.
