Phone bookings belong in Cliniko, too.
Some patients prefer to call, even when online booking is available. Arcline helps those callers use the same Cliniko calendar your team relies on, without asking them to navigate a link or wait for a callback.

From ringing phone to next step
A call, with a clear path.
Arcline follows the workflow you approve. Not a generic script for every clinic.
01
Understand the request
A new visit, a booking change or a clinic question. Establish what the caller needs before taking the next step.
02
Check the right pathway
Use your approved instructions alongside live Cliniko availability, appointment types and practitioner preferences.
03
Complete the next step
Make the supported booking or change, share approved information, or hand the request to your team.
04
Leave useful context
Reception can see the call outcome and written context, including anything that needs a person's attention.
In practice
What a Cliniko
patient call can look like.
A few everyday examples, from a routine booking to a question that belongs with your team.
Patient callExample conversation
I would rather book over the phone. Do you have any appointments on Friday?
ArclineOf course. Is this your first appointment with our clinic?

More than finding an empty slot
The diary is live.
The rules are yours.
Availability is only part of a suitable appointment. We configure the details that make a Cliniko booking right for your practice.
Appointment types and durations
Separate new patient visits from follow-ups, reviews and other approved services so callers are offered a suitable appointment.
Continuity with a practitioner
Use the patient's preference alongside the practitioner's live availability and the services your team has approved.
Location before availability
For clinics with more than one site, establish the preferred location before checking appropriate calendar slots.
When the calendar is full
Agree a fallback with reception: offer an available alternative or take a message instead of promising an unavailable time.
After-hours Cliniko bookings
Reception goes home.
Your diary stays within reach.
Patients often call after their own working day. Arcline can handle evening, weekend and overflow enquiries using the same approved information and booking rules as daytime reception.
- Check live Cliniko availability
- Leave useful context for the morning
Set the hours, transfer destinations and fallback process with our team. A caller can reach an approved next step while reception is offline.
After hoursStill answered.
Visibility for your team
An outcome. A transcript.
A clear next step.
Reception should not have to guess what happened on the phone. Call records help your team see the result and review anything that needs attention.

Questions before you connect
Cliniko
integration FAQs.
How booking, setup, pricing and handovers work with Arcline.
Ask about your clinicDoes Arcline integrate with the Cliniko appointment calendar?
Yes. Arcline connects to Cliniko for live availability and supported appointment booking, rescheduling and cancellation workflows. Reception continues to use Cliniko; Arcline adds phone answering around the calendar rather than replacing your practice software.
Does this replace Cliniko online booking?
No. Arcline supports patients who call your clinic. You can keep your existing online booking options and use AI phone answering for callers who prefer a conversation, need an appointment changed or have a routine clinic question.
What if a Cliniko practitioner has no suitable appointments?
Arcline checks live availability before offering a time. Your team decides which alternatives are appropriate and when a message should go to reception. It should not promise a slot that is not available or ignore your practitioner rules.
Can Arcline reschedule and cancel Cliniko appointments?
Yes. Alongside new bookings, Arcline handles supported appointment changes in Cliniko. We configure your rescheduling and cancellation instructions, including which exceptions must go to reception, before calls go live.
Can patients book into Cliniko after hours?
Arcline can answer evening, weekend and overflow calls using live Cliniko availability and your approved booking rules. You choose the coverage hours with our team. A routine request can be handled without waiting for reception to reopen.
Do we need to change our phone number?
You can keep the number patients already know. Our team works with you on call forwarding, coverage hours, transfer destinations and fallback arrangements. You review the routing before the agreed call flows go live.
How is the Cliniko integration set up?
Our team helps connect Cliniko, configures appointment pathways and approved clinic information, and tests representative calls with you. Your team reviews the setup before launch. We agree timing around your clinic rather than promising an instant rollout.
What happens when a call needs a person?
Clinical advice, sensitive situations and enquiries outside the approved workflow stay with your team. Arcline can transfer a call or take a detailed message according to your handover instructions. We agree the fallback for when staff are unavailable.
How is Arcline priced for our clinic?
Arcline is competitively priced, with a custom quote for your clinic's workflows, integration, locations and reception needs. Book a call to discuss your requirements and pricing before you decide to continue.
How long is the free trial?
The free trial is 14 days—two weeks—with no card required. We set up the agreed call flows with your clinic, review the outcomes together and discuss a custom quote if you would like to continue.
Does Arcline provide clinical advice or replace our PMS?
No. Arcline supports administrative phone enquiries and appointment workflows. Cliniko remains your practice management system, and your practitioners retain clinical judgement. You can review our privacy policy and subprocessors before connecting your clinic.
