Get started with Communications

NexHealth templates are the heart of your automated patient communications. Activate templates to automatically send:

             - digital Save the Date cards

             - appointment Reminders

             - messages for Missed or Canceled appointments with links to reschedule

             - New Patient welcome messages

            - Review requests to boost your SEO

             - Birthday wishes and more!

Every template in NexHealth has the same basic functions: an Action (the gray tile at the top of the sequence) which triggers the sequence to send, and then Email and SMS messages (the purple tiles), which you can customize. This ensures your automated messages are sent at the right times for each patient.

A green dot to the left of the template indicates that the template is active.

Read this article to learn what triggers each NexHealth template.

To activate your templates:

  1. Navigate to NexHealth Home
  2. Click Templates.
  3. Click on the template you'd like to activate.
  4. Flip the toggle on.
  5. Click YES, ACTIVATE IT! when prompted.
