Texting a Patient from their Profile Page

To text your patient from their Profile page, follow the steps below.

  1. From the patient's profile, select the Text tab.

  2. Type a message to the patient in the text box at the bottom of the page or click the Text Template icon Text template icon. to use a pre-made template.

    Caution

    Always keep your texts short and sweet!  Some phone carriers limit the number of characters per text and split texts longer than 160 characters into pieces. If you add a link to the end of your text, this split can break your link and we wouldn't want that!

  3. Hit Enter or click the Send icon Send icon. to send the text.

Warning

If you send an appointment reminder via direct message and they confirm via text, their appointment won't automatically confirm in Eaglesoft like it would if sent by mass text or the automated Appointment Reminders system.
