A prospect-to-patient pipeline bridging ClickUp and Practice Better.

Bi-directional integration between ClickUp and Practice Better — prospects flow in from marketing, patients flow through care, and nothing falls in the cracks between systems. Since October 2026 the team works from its own portal: patients, payroll and follow-up emails in one place.

The brief

Sales lived in ClickUp. Care lived in Practice Better. Prospects went quiet in between.

The problem

Marketing and sales lived in ClickUp; clinical care lived in Practice Better. Between them: copy-paste, missed handoffs, and prospects who went quiet before their first appointment.

The solution

An n8n integration layer that syncs both directions — a booking in Practice Better updates ClickUp instantly, a stage change in ClickUp triggers Practice Better — plus SMS nudges at every stage where prospects historically stalled.

01 · The prospect pipeline

One pipeline from first touch to active patient.

The ClickUp side: every prospect a card with a stage, a next action, and the clinical record it will become — visible end-to-end for the first time.

  • First touch → active patient
  • Stage-aware next actions
  • Visible end-to-end

03 · New: the team portal

Patients, payroll and the team's work, in one place.

In October 2026 the practice got its own team portal on the same ClickUp. Every work area is a sidebar page, and the emails the team sends over and over are templates that fill themselves from the record — with AI drafting switched off, because the rows hold patient data.

What the portal adds

Team lists

Prospective patients, corporate relationships, payroll, projects, helpdesk, marketing, group programs and courses — each its own page, with tiles for open, late and unassigned.

Follow-up emails

Pick a template on a patient row, it fills their name and appointment date, shows the email exactly as sent, logs it as a comment and stamps the last follow-up date.

Reporting

On-time rate, cycle time and late work by person and area, exportable to Excel or a branded PDF.

Meetings + Planner

Recorded calls become recaps; each person's day is planned around their meetings — AI sizing off for patient privacy.

Roles + activity

Everyone on the practice's domain signs in as a team member with no password; sign-ins are logged.

Client reminders

Must-know notes about a relationship appear whenever someone opens it — red, yellow or green.

The outcome

One pipeline from first touch to active patient, visible end-to-end.
