Scheduled Individual Messaging
When scheduled individual messages are enabled for your practice, you will be able to choose when a patient message will be sent, choosing either
- Now
- At 8am the next working day
- At a specified date and time
If you choose to schedule a message to send at a future date/time you can choose to to save a placeholder message to the clinical system - so that you can see when a message has been scheduled for a future date/time.
When a message has been scheduled to send, you will see the message in the Scheduled Messages tab.
This article describes this feature in more detail.
