When a cancellation frees a slot, be the one who gets it
Your appointment is in six weeks. Somebody cancels theirs tomorrow morning, and that slot goes to whoever happens to look at the booking page in the right minute. Nobody can look every minute. Software can.
Grab an earlier appointment is a ready-made automation for the Automate Chrome extension. Install it, point it at your own page, and it does the work in your own browser, signed in as you, inside limits you set.
What this automation does
You open your booking page, signed in the way you normally are, and set it as the automation's page.
You tell it which appointment you hold now, so it knows what counts as earlier.
It goes on watch and does nothing while no better slot exists.
When an earlier slot appears, it selects it and walks the rebooking up to the final confirmation.
It stops there and waits for your click, so the switch only happens when you say so.
This ready-made automation watches the booking page you already use, whether that is a clinic, a government office, a garage or a barber. When a slot opens that is earlier than the appointment you hold, it starts the rebooking in your own signed-in session and stops before confirming, so you approve the switch.
Make it yours
It arrives paused, so nothing runs until you have set it up. Three things to check before the first run:
Set the page: the exact booking page for your provider.
Tell it your current appointment: the date and time you are trying to beat.
Add your limits: only weekday mornings, only this branch, never give up the slot I already hold. Write them the way you would tell a person.
Then run a rehearsal: a dry run with no real actions, so you watch what it would do before you arm it.
The honest limits
It runs in your browser. If the browser is closed, nothing runs. It works through the site's own pages, pressing the same buttons you would, so whatever the site lets you do by hand is the boundary of what it can do for you. The step where it works out what to do next uses your LetBe.Ai account, and a free account is all you need to start.
Questions people ask
Could it lose the appointment I already have?
Its written rules tell it never to release your current slot, and it stops before the final confirmation, so nothing changes hands without your click.
Does it work with my clinic's system?
If you can rebook through a page in your browser, it can work that page. It reads the page like a person, so it is not limited to a list of supported systems.
Does it need my patient login?
It works inside the session you are already signed into. Your password never leaves your browser.
What if no earlier slot ever opens?
Then it never acts. Watching costs nothing while the page stays unchanged, and you can stop the automation whenever you want.
