How to enable and disable the SMS / Text messaging function on your site
Note: All SMS / Text are sent from a generic SMS number, which may change from time to time for fallback or redundancy purposes.
For the convenience of your clients, automatic system messages such as e-mail confirmations and reminders can also be sent by SMS / Text, delivering a short text message to the cell phone number in your client’s profile.
To take advantage of this function, you must first enable SMS / Text messaging for your practice. To do this, login to your private administration area, and follow these steps:
- Navigate to Website Control >> Clinic Settings
- Click on the “Options” tab.
- Click on “Edit” and locate the “SMS Messaging” section.
- Check the box for “Enable SMS messaging” to activate the function.
- Click “Save”
You can disable this function at any time by returning to this area and removing the check beside “Enable SMS Messaging.”
Note: You can now enable this feature for those patients that want to receive appointment SMS / Text messages from you. For information on how to do this, please click here.
