Veterinary Client Intake & Priority Routing

A structured intake and routing workflow designed to help veterinary clinic teams review incoming client requests more efficiently.

Project introduction

Veterinary clinic staff may need to manually review form submissions, identify requests that require faster attention, transfer patient information into a record, and notify the appropriate team member.

I built a portfolio-based automation prototype that connects these steps into one organized workflow. It collects submitted information, uses AI-assisted classification to help identify priority, routes the request, sends a formatted staff notification, and records the details for review.

Operational problem

  • Checking every submission individually
  • Identifying which requests may need faster attention
  • Copying client and patient information between tools
  • Preparing internal notification emails
  • Maintaining an organized record of inquiries

System built

The workflow begins when a pet owner completes a structured intake form. Make.com receives the submission, sends relevant inquiry information to Claude AI for administrative classification, then routes the request to a potentially urgent path or a regular review path.

Tools and technical capabilities

  • Structured intake data collection
  • AI-assisted request organization
  • Conditional priority routing
  • Formatted internal notifications
  • Centralized submission logging
  • Human review maintained throughout the process

Safety note

AI supports administrative routing only. It does not provide diagnoses, recommend treatment, or replace veterinary staff review.

Key learning or next improvement

The strongest part of this build is keeping the AI layer administrative. A practical next improvement would be adding clinic-approved priority rules and exception handling before any production use.
