What’s Newnew_symbol-1

  • Appointment reminders can be configured for any day between 1 and 30 days before the appointment.

  • A multi-select dropdown allows selection of multiple reminder days at once.

  • An optional custom reminder day greater than 30 days (up to 90 days) can be configured.

  • Selected reminder days are summarized within the dropdown for easy review.

  • Validation prevents duplicate reminder days between dropdown and custom input.

  • A maximum of 10 total reminder days (dropdown + custom) is enforced.

  • Reminder delivery continues to use the existing SMS framework.

How It Works 

  • Navigate to the appointment reminder configuration settings.

  • Open the reminder timing selector.

  • Select one or more reminder days between 1 and 30 days before the appointment using the multi-select dropdown.

  • Review the selected reminder days as summarized within the dropdown.

  • If reminders are needed further in advance, enter a single custom reminder day greater than 30 and up to 90 days.

  • The system validates that the custom day does not duplicate any selected dropdown value and that the total reminder count does not exceed 10.

  • Save the configuration.

  • The system schedules reminders for each configured day offset.

  • Patients receive notifications automatically on each scheduled reminder day leading up to the appointment.
