Web Sched Notify Setup

In Web Sched New Patient, click Notification Settings.

Alternatively,

Notify messages can be turned on by clinic and by service. To exclude Web Sched Recall messages from being sent on certain days, see Exclusion Days.

The Notification Settings window is similar for each Web Sched feature. The heading of the window will display which Web Sched feature Notify is being set up for.

Message Replacement Fields

Both email and text messages can include Message Replacement Fields that dynamically insert patient data from the database. The fields available for each service vary.

  1. Right-click in the Text Message, Subject, or Body text box, then click Insert Fields to view available Message Replacement Fields.

    Fields in black text are available for the service. Fields in red text are not. Greyed out fields are considered protected health information (PHI) and cannot be inserted into text messages because texting is not a secure method of sending PHI.
  2. Double-click a field to insert it in the current cursor location.
