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:

  1. Navigate to Website Control >> Clinic Settings

  2. Click on the “Options” tab.

  3. Click on “Edit” and locate the “SMS Messaging” section.

  4. Check the box for “Enable SMS messaging” to activate the function.
  5. 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.
