Can I be notified when a patient has arrived for an appointment?

Yes, a patient arriving for an appointment is one of the events that you can choose to receive a notification about.  


To receive the notification you'll need to:


  • Have an Appointment Status called Arrived set up (You'll need to set this up yourself if you signed up before 02/10/18. If you signed up after this, an Arrived status will already be set up for you)
  • Choose how you'd like to be notified 


Setting Up the Arrived Appointment Status (if needed):


  1. Go to Settings -> Scheduling, click into the Appointment Statuses tab and select Create New Appointment Status:



  1. Complete each field as below:


  • Name - Arrived
  • Colour - Choose from the dropdown list
  • Is this the Default status? - No
  • Does it mean the Patient is attending? - Yes
  • Does it mean the Patient has arrived? - Yes



  1. Hit Save and you'll be taken back to the Scheduling tab where you'll see the new status in the list:
