# Automatic Last-Minutes

## What happens when a patient cancels?

When a patient cancels their appointment via TurnUp, the system will **automatically try to create a new last-minute** for other patients on the waitlist.

### 🔁 What is synced

- The cancelled appointment is also cancelled in Dentally
- If eligible patients are found:
  
    - A **new last-minute** is created
    - It’s synced to Dentally
    - Invites are sent out automatically
- If **no** patients match:
  
    - No last-minute is created
    - The clinic will receive a notification

### 📧 Email notifications

**1. Successful automatic last-minute**  
*"A new last-minute has been created for \[Practitioner\] on \[date\]."*  
➤ Includes: doctor, time, treatment, and which patients were invited.

**2. No eligible patients found**  
*"No last-minute could be created for \[treatment\] for \[Practitioner\] because no matching patients are available."*  
➤ Helps the clinic understand waitlist gaps.
