Hi, 

For the instances where patients have two appointments on one day (i.e. Exam and Hygiene), would it be possible for there to be one SMS sent, and if they reply ‘Yes’ for confirming, that it applies to both appointments?

Patients are commenting often that they receive too many reminders, and most of the time this stems from when they have two appointments on the same day. They also will not reply ‘Yes’ to both messages so our receptionist are having to see that they’ve confirmed one and manually changing the other. 

Many thanks in advance for your consideration. 

Fran

Hey ​@FranBo 👋,

You’re definitely not the only one asking for this, it’s come up a few times already. There aren’t any concrete updates to share just yet, as the team is still gathering feedback and use cases. That said, there is some broader work happening around patient communications that could be relevant here. I’ll keep this thread updated as soon as there’s anything I can share 👍
