Default automated SMS message contents

These are default messages that come pre-configured with the software.

However, you can customise them to suit your requirements (see Configuring AUTOMATED Contact options for Short Notice List).

GAP AVAILABLE:

Informs patients when a gap is available at short notice.

[Patient.firstname], an appointment on [patient.shortnoticegap] has just become available. If this is convenient, please reply with the word 'Book' or contact [practice.name] on [Practice.phone].

GAP CONFIRMED:

Auto-confirms that the patient booking has been accepted.

[Patient.firstname], thanks for responding, your appointment has successfully been moved forward to [patient.shortnoticegap]. See you then.

GAP GONE:

Replies to a patient attempted booking to inform the patient that the booking has already been taken.

[Patient.firstname], thank you but, unfortunately the time has already been taken. We'll contact you again shortly when another gap becomes available. [Practice.name]
