Enhance your messaging with attachments and emoticons

Apptoto has made it easier than ever to customize and personalize your customer messages with attachments, photos, and emoticons. Files and photos can be attached to appointment reminder messages, appointment follow-up messages, and appointment booking/initial messages wherever a clickable “Attach Filer” button is found. Photos and emoticons are fully supported in both SMS and emails for a variety of message types. Attachments of other types are fully supported in emails.  You can try sending attachments of any file type through SMS; however, your mileage may vary based on the type of handset/carrier the recipient uses.  Because of this, we recommend only sending Photos in SMS (i.e. MMS messages).  If you do attach a file that isn’t a photo to an SMS message in Apptoto, Apptoto will attempt to send both the photo and a link to the attachment for the recipient to click on to open the attachment (the link is NOT password-protected). Personalize Client Messages with Files and Photos To attach files and photos to your messages, navigate to the “Auto Messages” tab.  They can also be attached to message templates under Settings > Message Templates for use when sending […]

Increase Telehealth Appointment Attendance with Reminder Messages

News is changing by the minute, and so is the world of healthcare. During the COVID-19 nationwide public health emergency, doctor’s visits have shifted from in-office appointments to telehealth. The Office for Civil Rights (OCR) at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has expanded providers’ communication options in response to these changes. Healthcare professionals have used telehealth visits in the past. But now, social distancing is expanding how medical offices are using telehealth appointments. In order for these appointments to be effective, patients need to be aware of their appointments and have access to the necessary information. Per a release from HHS, “A covered health care provider that wants to use audio or video communication technology to provide telehealth to patients during the COVID-19 nationwide public health emergency can use any non-public facing remote communication product that is available to communicate with patients.” Apptoto is a leader in appointment reminders. Our platform helps ensure your telehealth appointments are well-attended by patients and that they and the provider benefit from a safe appointment experience. We are here to assist with these messages along with reminding appointments moving forward as […]
