Forms Automation - Patient View

When you set automation for forms and packages, the forms that patients are due for automatically attach to their appointment reminder texts, specifically:

  • New Patient Welcomes

  • Confirmation reminders

  • Auto-replies when they confirm, and

  • Their Same Day reminder

Below are examples of what reminders look like when patients are due for one or more automated forms. The link in each reminder allows each patient access to any automated forms they're due for and any your practice has manually assigned to them in Pending Forms.

Note

If you've set up forms automation and a patient doesn't have a link in their reminders as shown below, that means they're not due for any forms you've automated.

How Patients See Forms Automation

The first time a new patient schedules an appointment with your office, (if you're set up to send New Patient Welcome texts), patients will get a message welcoming them to your practice along with a link to their paperwork, which includes:

  • Their new patient form(s), if you've added them to your New Patient Welcome template in Appointment Reminders.

  • Any other automated forms they're due for (like ones tied to the procedure they're there for or ones you want patients to complete at every appointment).

Here's what that looks like for them:

Phone with a text that reads "Hello Li! Welcome to Big Smiles Dental. We're excited to see you on February 16, 2024 at 1:10PM. Don't hesitate to give us a call at 555-555-5555 if you have any questions. Select the link to complete your paperwork." A link is then listed.

Once patients click the link, they'll be able to access all their forms:

Important

New Patient Welcomes send individually for all patients, even if family members are scheduled for the same day.

If a patient hasn't confirmed their appointment and you're set up to send confirmation reminders, they'll get a link to any automated forms their due for plus any you've already assigned to them manually:

Phone with text that reads "Hi! Upcoming appointment on 08/16/2024 at 12:20PM for Walter. Please reply C to confirm. If you need to reschedule, call Dental 555-555-5555. Sunnydale Dental. Select the link to complete your paperwork:" Below is a bubble reading "Tap to Load Preview".
