Question 1

Our marketplace setup and update rules are specific to us. What does configuration cover?

Accepted Answer

Each marketplace is built as its own agent around your rules: which profile fields sync (locations, insurance accepted, visit types, open hours), where your source-of-truth inputs come from in your practice-management system, and which discrepancies auto-apply versus route to a person. The field-by-field comparison and the rule that a field with no authoritative value is left alone and reported are fixed. Your front desk keeps managing the schedule where they always have; only the re-keying into marketplace listings goes away.

Question 2

What accounts and access does the sync actually require?

Accepted Answer

A login to each marketplace, stored in an agent profile the way every workflow in this catalogue handles credentials. The agent signs in and works the same profile screens your staff use, so no marketplace API or integration is needed. Inputs are your practice-management data; outputs are a report of every change and cancellation in the marketplace's own wording. Credentials stay scoped to the marketplace account, rotatable and revocable on your side, and runs execute on SOC 2 Type II infrastructure. Posture on the security page.

Question 3

What happens when the marketplace and our data disagree, or an appointment can't be identified?

Accepted Answer

Both are hard stops with evidence. An appointment your inputs don't identify unambiguously is never cancelled on a guess: the run stops and hands a person the ambiguity. A profile field where the marketplace and your inputs disagree in a way the rules don't cover goes to a person with the exact discrepancy attached. Fields with no authoritative value in your inputs are left untouched and reported rather than filled. If the marketplace's login or page layout changes, the run reports what it observed instead of pushing changes into an unfamiliar screen.

Question 4

How do we audit what the agent changed or cancelled on a public listing?

Accepted Answer

Every run reports each profile change and each cancellation in the marketplace's own wording, with the marketplace's confirmation captured for every cancellation, so you verify against what the marketplace said, not what the agent intended. A run that changed nothing because the profile already matched, or that escalated a discrepancy instead of applying it, is a successful run; only a marketplace that couldn't be reached or a session that broke mid-run counts as a technical failure, and that is reported as such rather than as a completed sync.

Question 5

Which system is the source of truth for profile, availability, and cancellation status?

Accepted Answer

Yours, always. The workflow pushes practice-management data to the marketplace and never the reverse: the marketplace is treated as a public display of your schedule, not an authority on it. Availability itself comes from the production workflows this one composes with: reading real slots from the EHR and writing appointments across systems. Cancellations flow the same direction: your inputs name the appointments to cancel, and the marketplace's confirmation is captured as the record that it happened.

Question 6

How are conflicting updates, cancellation policies, and marketplace-specific fields reconciled?

Accepted Answer

By comparison against your inputs, field by field, with a bright line on ambiguity. Updates apply only from your authoritative values; a marketplace-specific field your data doesn't cover is left alone and reported rather than guessed. Where the live profile and your inputs conflict in a way your configured rules don't resolve, the discrepancy escalates to a person verbatim instead of being forced through. Cancellations follow the same discipline: only the specific appointments named in your inputs are touched, each with the marketplace's confirmation captured, so policy questions stay decisions your team makes.
