Use your Conversation Flow's Smart Phrase in any patient communication method including Triggers, Campaigns, Bulk Messaging, Quick Responses, and/or manual messaging. Conversation Flow Events and Referral-based Smart Phrases can be successfully used within Campaigns.

Locate the Smart Phrase

The Smart Phrase for your Conversation Flow is located on the Conversation Flows page. 

After-Hours Auto-Response

You can include your Conversation Flow's Smart Phrase in your Practice's After-Hours Auto-Response. Click here to learn more.


Quick Responses

You can include your Conversation Flow's Smart Phrase in one or more Quick Response templates. Quick Responses can be used in Manual Messaging or Bulk Messaging.

NOTE: To send the Conversation Flow securely, make sure the Quick Response is set to Secured. Click here for information on securing messages.

Triggers

You can set up Triggers for your Conversation Flow by including your Conversation Flow's Smart Phrase within two curly brackets {} in place of a message. Enter the Smart Phrase in the text and/or call section.

When the patient receives the message, it will be the first (root) message in the Conversation Flow. As the patient responds, the next message in the sequence will be sent until the Conversation Flow completes or is terminated.

Manual Messages

You can manually start a Conversation Flow from the Patient Channel by sending the Conversation Flow's Smart Phrase in place of a message directly to the patient.
