Scheduling Messages (SMS Reminders)

Before you begin

Before sending an SMS Message, you can schedule a time for its delivery, via the Message Schedule tab on the SMS Reminders Setup interface.

To set up message scheduling:

Procedure

  1. Select SMS > Setup SMS Reminders.
  2. Specify an interval. The Intervals check boxes indicate the interval before a patient's appointment at which the SMS reminder(s) will be sent. Any combination of days can be selected.

    The scheduler can be disabled by ensuring all these check boxes are un-ticked.

  3. Specify the time at which you want reminders to be sent, by entering a time in the Run at (time of day) text box.

    The nominated computer (terminal) needs to have Bluechip active at that given time, for the SMS Reminder Scheduler to run.
