When a cancellation opens a slot, Kickcall calls patients on your Open Dental ASAP list who want to come in sooner and books the first one who says yes. •
AI ASAP list calls for Open Dental are outbound calls that fill a new opening from your ASAP list, the appointments your team marked ASAP. Kickcall matches the opening to patients whose appointment fits, calls them in your order, moves the first yes into the slot where your setup allows, and stops once it's filled.
Does Open Dental have a waitlist?
Yes. Open Dental's waitlist is the ASAP List, found under Appointment Lists. It holds scheduled, unscheduled, planned and broken appointments marked ASAP, plus recalls marked Schedule ASAP. Dental teams use it as the list of patients willing to come in sooner, and Kickcall calls from it when a slot opens.
How do AI ASAP list calls work in Open Dental?
When a slot opens in Open Dental, Kickcall finds ASAP appointments that fit the opening's length, provider, operatory and procedure, then calls those patients in the order your rules set. The first patient who accepts is moved into the slot where your setup allows, and outreach for that slot stops.
How does Kickcall stop two patients from taking the same opening?
Kickcall rechecks the slot before every offer and stops calling the moment it is booked or no longer available. If two patients accept close together, the first confirmed patient gets it, and the second hears it was just filled and stays on the Open Dental ASAP list. Exact concurrency controls are confirmed during implementation.
Can the matching rules consider providers and operatories?
Yes, subject to the data available in your Open Dental setup. Kickcall applies the same filters your team uses on the ASAP list, such as provider, operatory, appointment length, procedure code range, and hygiene versus doctor time, before it offers an opening to any patient.
Can we use another list instead of the Open Dental ASAP list?
Potentially. Kickcall can review an approved short-call list or other data source, but feasibility depends on API access, data quality, consent and the scheduling workflow you want to run. Most offices start with the Open Dental ASAP list, because ASAP priority is already set on each appointment.
We’ll review the trigger, access, scheduling rules, write-backs, compliance needs, and human checkpoints before launch.
