Conversation agent
Agent Studio, skills, knowledge, router, inbox handoff.
A sheet cannot qualify, book, and recover on one timeline
A spreadsheet blast list cannot qualify, book a calendar slot, or recover a no-show with voice on the same contact. Excel is a list. Personal WhatsApp is a phone. CoPulse is the Project inbox, five-stage board, calendars, and wallet-metered sends. Campaign conversion on a sheet is “how many greens you typed.”
- One contact, not a row plus a chat
- Calendars not cells
- Voice recover
The overdue tab that double-books Thursday
Ops exports HIS IDs to Excel, blasts from a personal number, then two desks offer two slots. Duplicate-patients and appointment-booking exist because the sheet cannot merge or hold a calendar. STOP on the phone is not Project suppression. SMS from a sheet is also not live on CoPulse.
Jobs, then hops
Capture should not start in Excel. If you import CSV, the job still finishes on the contact. There is no compare×WhatsApp nested URL.
- Import once CSV v1 into the Project — then stop living in the file.
- Qualify Inbound or reply threads, not a new column in the sheet.
- Book Appointments module.
- Recover Same contact, new meeting.
How CoPulse runs it
CRM + campaigns replace the blast tab. Conversation agent replaces the paste. Voice is optional recover.
Growth drips / campaigns
Clock-based. Wallet preview. Not adaptive nurture.
Workflows
Agents → Workflows on pipeline stage change.
Autonomous outbound
Optional lists. Success is sends/reads — not appointment booked.
Operator setup
Organization wallet. Project channels. Healthcare pipeline labels. Not HIS/EMR.
Setup → Channels (WhatsApp/Gupshup, Phone/Plivo, Email/SES, Web, Meta as needed) → Library templates → Agents → Studio (qualifier, catalogs, appointment skill, emergency guardrail) → Router → Workflows → Customers pipeline (five columns) → Appointments/calendars → Growth with Organization wallet preview.
1,200 overdue names
Sheet: 1,200 rows, 40 “booked” typed by hand, no calendar. CoPulse: Recurring patient segment, wallet preview, autonomous or Growth send, 400 reads (success for that task), 40 replies that complete appointment-booking. Show-rate can exist.
Stay on Excel if the list is ten VIP names you will always call yourself. Move when two people edit the same tab.
Read this page as a jobs brief, not a lawsuit. The CoPulse column is the product you can click: Setup → Channels, Library templates, Agent Studio, agent router, Agents → Workflows, autonomous list tasks (sends and reads, not appointment booked), Growth campaigns/drips, five healthcare pipeline stages, appointments/calendars, omnichannel inbox, human handoff, Organization wallet. The Typical Excel plus personal WhatsApp column is category positioning. If that vendor shipped a new WhatsApp or voice module this quarter, believe their docs over our “typical” cell. We still will not invent their price. Operators implementing after a bake-off should run patient qualification, appointment booking, and no-show recovery on a Project — those URLs are the jobs, not nested channel clones. Adaptive nurture is not shipped. WhatsApp live catalog is Gupshup. Phone “replied” is STT. Campaign conversion is reply rate. CoPulse is not HIS/EMR. The qualifier does not diagnose. That is the honest footer for Excel + WhatsApp.
Vs-grid (category, not a smear)
CoPulse cells match the product. Typical Excel plus personal WhatsApp cells describe how that category is usually sold. Check the vendor for current modules. We never invent their pricing.
| Capability | CoPulse | Typical Excel plus personal WhatsApp |
|---|---|---|
| Omnichannel inbox | One patient inbox: WhatsApp, email, web chat, Instagram, Messenger, and voice on the same contact. | Personal WhatsApp or a forwarded group. Not an omnichannel Project inbox. |
| WhatsApp templates + 24h window | In-session free-text via the conversation agent. Outside 24 hours, approved library templates on Gupshup. | Free-text from a phone. Closed-window templates are whoever remembered to use the Business App. |
| Voice AI | Plivo voice AI with AMD and dialer modes on campaigns. Phone replied is speech-to-text, not attend-intent. | Someone dials from the sheet. No AMD, no transcript on the contact. |
| Pipeline / deals | Default healthcare columns: New enquiry, Appointment booked, Consult done, Treatment plan, Recurring patient. | Tabs named Booked / Came / Missed. Not five product stages. |
| Appointments / calendars | Slot truth lives on Appointments. Autonomous success is sends/reads, not appointment booked. | A date column, easily stale. |
| Qualifier | Patient Inquiry Qualifier: reason, service, location, times. Non-diagnostic. Emergencies: call emergency services. | Maybe a notes cell. Not four fields with emergency redirect. |
| Campaigns / drips | Growth campaigns with wallet preview. Conversion is reply rate unless Appointment booked is tracked on the pipeline. | Re-send the sheet. Not Growth with wallet preview. |
| Conversation agents | Agent Studio, skills, knowledge catalogs (Departments, Doctors, Beds, Services), router, inbox handoff. | None, unless a person pretends. |
| Workflows | Agents → Workflows on stage change: agent.run, route.agent, crm.set_custom_properties. Not adaptive nurture. | Macros in Excel, not stage-enter graphs. |
| Autonomous outbound | List/objective sends after plan approve. Success is sends, reads, or contacted — not appointment booked. | Mail merge. CoPulse autonomous still only claims sends/reads. |
| Pricing | Organization wallet only. No seat fees. We do not invent competitor prices. | Excel is “free” until no-shows. We do not price Microsoft 365 for you. CoPulse is wallet-only. |
| HIS / EMR / listing apps | Engagement only. We do not replace hospital information systems, EMR, billing, pharmacy, or listing marketplaces. | The export came from HIS. CoPulse does not replace that HIS; it stops the engagement living in the export. |
Playbooks to run, not a dump
Bake-offs fail when they stay on checkmarks. Run these three jobs on a Project.
Patient qualification
Four fields. Non-diagnostic. Emergencies to emergency services.
Open playbook →Appointment booking
Calendars first; Appointment booked follows. Not an autonomous trophy.
Open playbook →No-show recovery
Stay off Consult done. Offer a later slot on the same contact.
Open playbook →Frequently asked questions
Including when to stay where you are.
When should we stay on Excel plus WhatsApp?
If one person owns ten patients and will never run a program blast, a sheet can be enough. Move when duplicates, reminders, or voice recovers appear.
Do you list their prices?
No. Seat and conversation packs change. CoPulse publishes wallet markups on pricing: no monthly seats; messaging 1.10×; voice AI and LLM 1.30×; campaign preview before send.
Is this a complete feature matrix?
No. Named vendors ship add-ons. Our CoPulse column is the repo. Their column is category-typical. Ask them for a current demo.
Will autonomous tasks stop when an appointment is booked?
No. Success is sends, reads, or contacted. Use the appointment skill, drips, and voice confirms for the slot job. Appointment booked is a column plus a calendar fact.
WhatsApp provider?
Live catalog is Gupshup. Connect it under Setup → Channels. Product: WhatsApp.
Can we dual-run?
Yes. Keep a CRM of record if reporting lives there. CoPulse is the omnichannel execution Project. CSV import is v1. We do not invent a native sync.
