Patient Intake Form Router

1. 1A patient submits the intake form.
2. 2Their details are normalized and logged as a new row with Status = New.
3. 3An IF node checks reasonForVisit for the words "emergency", "severe", or "urgent" — matches go to "Notify Staff (Flagged)" with a 🚩 tag, everything else goes to the normal "Notify Staff" channel. This is a keyword match on what the patient typed, not a clinical assessment — the Slack message says so explicitly so staff don't mistake it for triage.

• An n8n Cloud or self-hosted account
• A Google account (Sheets)
• A Slack workspace

*Administrative intake logging only — not built to store regulated PHI without your own HIPAA compliance review. Consider this a routing/notification layer in front of your actual clinical record system, not a replacement for it. The "flagged" keyword match below is a front-desk attention cue based on the patient's own wording, not a clinical triage tool — it does not replace your practice's actual urgent-symptom protocol.*

• Auto-create a placeholder appointment slot once intake is logged.
• Add a Status update step once staff have reviewed the intake, so the sheet reflects real workflow state.
• Add more keywords to "Check Reason Keywords" if your front desk has its own common terms worth flagging.
