How Puppilot Syncs With Rhapsody
When a client calls, Puppilot syncs with Rhapsody in real time — no stale exports, no overnight batches. Here is exactly what data flows between the two systems during every conversation.
| Rhapsody Data | Sync Scope | What Puppilot Does |
|---|---|---|
| Patient Records Name, species, breed, age, weight | Full Sync | Identifies the pet on the call instantly — greets the client by name and confirms which pet they are calling about. |
| Medical History Diagnoses, surgeries, visit notes | Full Sync | Accesses the full chart during triage calls to give accurate information about recent treatments and ongoing conditions. |
| Medications & Vaccinations Current prescriptions, vaccine schedule | Full Sync | Answers questions about refills, checks due dates, and routes prescription requests to the appropriate staff member. |
| Appointments Upcoming, past, available slots | Full Sync | Checks real-time availability and books new appointments directly into Rhapsody's calendar — no double-booking. |
| Client Information Phone, email, address, preferences | Full Sync | Updates contact information when a client mentions a new phone number or address during the call. |
| Call Summaries Notes, triage urgency, action items | Full Sync | Logs a detailed call summary directly to the patient chart in Rhapsody, so your team sees exactly what was discussed. |
| Account Balances Outstanding invoices, payment status | Full Sync | Can inform the client about outstanding balances and route payment questions to your billing team. |

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Puppilot work with Rhapsody?
Yes. Puppilot syncs directly with Rhapsody to give its AI front desk real-time access to patient records, medical history, scheduling data, and more. The sync is fully two-way, so Puppilot can also take actions like booking appointments and logging call summaries back into Rhapsody. The sync works with all actively maintained versions of Rhapsody.
Is Rhapsody cloud-based or on-premise?
Rhapsody is primarily an on-premise system that runs on a local server at your practice. Because the core system is server-based, Puppilot connects through a lightweight local connector rather than a cloud API — ensuring real-time data access without relying on external servers.
What data syncs between Puppilot and Rhapsody?
Puppilot maintains a full sync with Rhapsody, giving it real-time access to the data it needs to handle calls with the same context your front desk team would have. This includes patient and client records, scheduling, medical history, and more. The sync is designed to be robust and deeply connected, so Puppilot can do more than just answer questions — it can take action on behalf of your practice during every call.
How long does setup take?
Most Rhapsody practices are fully live with Puppilot within one business day. The setup involves installing a small connector on your Rhapsody server (about 15 minutes), configuring your data access preferences and call routing rules, and a short training session with your team. Puppilot provides white-glove onboarding at no extra cost.
Will Puppilot slow down my Rhapsody system?
No. Puppilot's connector is designed to be lightweight and non-intrusive. It syncs data through Rhapsody's existing database interface without adding meaningful load to your server. Your staff will continue using Rhapsody exactly as they do today — Puppilot simply syncs with the same system in the background.
What happens during an internet outage?
If your clinic loses internet, Puppilot's cloud-based AI cannot reach your Rhapsody server. Calls will follow your configured fallback — typically routing to voicemail or your after-hours service. Once connectivity is restored, the sync resumes automatically with no data loss.
What if my Rhapsody version is older or customized?
Puppilot supports all actively maintained versions of Rhapsody. If you are running an older or heavily customized installation, our onboarding team will assess compatibility during setup and work with you to ensure a smooth connection. Contact us for a free compatibility check.
