Birdeye + DrChrono Integration
Connect supported DrChrono appointment milestones to Birdeye review requests, patient feedback, texting, and webchat planning.
Last updated: June 19, 2026
How the DrChrono and Birdeye workflow can work
DrChrono is used by independent physicians, clinics, and specialty practices using DrChrono. A well-planned Birdeye connection can reduce the need for front-desk staff to remember review requests manually. Instead, the practice chooses an appropriate supported milestone and uses that event to start a patient follow-up workflow.
The integration may use a supported completed appointment or visit status to initiate follow-up after the patient experience. The exact event name, fields, timing, and available communication modules depend on the practice’s DrChrono edition, Birdeye package, and connection method. ConvertLocal confirms those details before the team relies on the automation.
Example review request workflow
A DrChrono appointment reaches the selected supported completed status -> approved patient and location information is made available to the supported integration -> Birdeye sends a concise SMS or email request -> the patient shares feedback or visits the configured Google review destination -> the practice monitors replies and reputation from a centralized workflow.

Why this matters for busy front desks
Front-desk teams are already managing phones, arrivals, scheduling changes, insurance questions, forms, recalls, and patient concerns. Review requests are easy to postpone because they are important but rarely urgent. Automation turns the request into a predictable process without asking staff to remember one more task after every appointment.
Fewer manual follow-ups
Use a supported system event to start the request instead of relying on sticky notes, exports, or individual staff memory.
More consistent review timing
Send after an appropriate completed-patient milestone rather than at random or before the visit is truly finished.
Clearer location ownership
Route requests, replies, and reporting to the correct office so multi-location groups can compare performance and respond locally.
Review requests, feedback, and patient communication
Review automation is usually the most valuable first workflow because it has a clear trigger and measurable result. Birdeye may also support patient surveys, centralized messaging, webchat, AI-assisted website conversations, listings, and appointment communication depending on the product package and integration setup.
| Capability | Practical use | What to verify |
|---|---|---|
| SMS and email review requests | Ask for feedback after a supported completed appointment or visit. | Trigger, consent, patient contact fields, timing, and location mapping. |
| Patient feedback and surveys | Identify service issues and learn where the patient experience can improve. | Survey availability, routing, ownership, and privacy-aware questions. |
| Business texting | Handle common office and appointment questions from an eligible practice number. | Number eligibility, consent, access controls, supported message types, and staff coverage. |
| Webchat and AI chat | Capture appointment interest and answer general practice questions. | Escalation, approved content, after-hours handling, and restrictions on sensitive information. |
| Appointment communication | Support reminders, confirmations, recalls, or follow-up where available. | Whether the specific DrChrono connection and Birdeye package support the required event. |

Best fit practices
- Independent medical practices using DrChrono
- Specialty clinics that need post-visit review automation
- Practices adding patient webchat and centralized messaging
- Teams replacing inconsistent manual review requests
DrChrono practices are a good fit when appointment status hygiene is strong and the front desk can own replies generated by the workflow.
DrChrono + Birdeye setup checklist
- Confirm the exact DrChrono product, edition, hosting model, and locations.
- Verify the supported native or approved connector-based Birdeye integration path.
- Review available appointment, visit, procedure, or status triggers.
- Select the milestone that most accurately represents a completed patient experience.
- Confirm which patient contact fields and location identifiers are available.
- Map each office to the correct Google Business Profile and review destination.
- Write SMS and email templates that avoid sensitive treatment information.
- Set messaging permissions, owners, escalation rules, and response-time expectations.
- Test with staff records and confirm timing before enabling live patients.
- Review performance after launch and adjust timing or templates based on delivery and response data.
Common mistakes to avoid
Choosing a scheduled appointment trigger
A scheduled or arrived appointment may not represent a completed patient experience. Use a supported completion milestone whenever possible.
Assuming all modules are included
Reviews, surveys, texting, webchat, reminders, and recalls may require different products or integration support.
Sending identifiable clinical details
Keep review requests and public responses general. Do not include diagnosis, procedure, treatment, or other sensitive details.
Launching without front-desk ownership
Decide who handles replies, who resolves feedback, and how conversations are escalated before automation begins.

Frequently asked questions
Does Birdeye integrate with DrChrono?
Birdeye offers integration options for practices using DrChrono, but the exact connection method, supported products, data fields, and triggers should be confirmed for the practice’s edition and configuration before launch.
Can Birdeye send review requests automatically?
Yes, when the selected DrChrono integration path provides a supported completed appointment, visit, or other approved trigger. ConvertLocal verifies the trigger and tests it before enabling live automation.
Can patients receive review requests by text?
Yes, SMS review requests may be used when supported by the Birdeye configuration and the practice has the appropriate patient contact data and consent process. Email can also be used in supported workflows.
Is this useful for multi-location practices?
Yes. Multi-location practices can benefit from location-specific review destinations, centralized reporting, shared messaging, and standardized templates, provided each location and integration mapping is configured correctly.
Can ConvertLocal help set this up?
Yes. ConvertLocal helps confirm the integration path, choose the trigger, configure locations, write messages, plan inbox ownership, test the workflow, and train the practice team.
