Customer journey
From first enquiry to repeat customer.
Fifteen stages, one record. Most journeys move through quietly. When one stops, Clinqly acts, hands over, and the journey resumes.
- 01EnquiryWebsite, WhatsApp, Instagram or Messenger. Answered from approved information.
- 02QualificationIntent, service, urgency and anything to note for the team.
- QUIET ENQUIRYClinqly follows up where allowed, counts the silence, then hands to a person.
- 03AvailabilityReal calendar times offered on the same channel.
- 04Slot selected / heldHeld for up to 60 minutes while the customer pays any required deposit online.
- 05Deposit if requiredPaid through a secure Stripe link into the business's own account, or confirmed by the business when it uses its own payment link.
- DEPOSIT INCOMPLETEIf the deposit is not paid in time, the held slot is released at the deadline.
- 06Booking confirmedOnly once any required deposit is confirmed.
- 07ConfirmationConfirmed to the customer, with a secure link to reschedule or cancel.
- 08ReminderScheduled automatically where reminders are on.
- CANCELLATIONFor appointments Clinqly booked, the time reopens and Clinqly shortlists the people who asked to come sooner, ready to offer.
- 09AppointmentThe visit, lesson or session itself. Your existing software keeps its own record.
- NO-SHOWClinqly prepares a message; the front desk starts the recovery.
- 10OutcomeAttended, did not attend, or cancelled.
- 11Decision“Yes”, “no”, or “I'll think about it” on a quote, plan or proposal, with a follow-up date and owner.
- DECISION PENDINGFollow-up on the due date. Silence is counted from the day you asked. Then its owner.
- 12Follow-up where neededAutomated where configured. Otherwise prepared for a named person.
- 13AcceptedRecorded as acceptance. Booked is a separate fact.
- 14Service deliveredDelivered across one or more appointments.
- DUE-DATE RETURNRuns only from a return date your team recorded. Clinqly never guesses when someone is due.
