Written by Hebe Lowen

How do I enable task reminders to remind my patients to complete pre-appointment actions?

  • Go to 'Patient Notifications' and then 'Notification types'.

  • Scroll to the 'Task reminders' section and select 'Settings'.

  • Toggle the switch to turn on task reminders.

Patients will only receive a maximum of 1 task reminder per day via SMS, which is billed at the usual rate. Only patients with outstanding tasks receive a task reminder. Task reminders are classified as transactional so will be sent to a patient regardless of the marketing preference set in Dentally. Read more about how task reminders work here.

📝 Please note: Practice notification texts sent to patients may incur a charge for your practice.
