Note: Family Reminders are only available to offices that have a family structure set up in their practice management software. In order for the family reminder to work, the parent or guardian’s mobile number must be entered as the child’s mobile number as well.
Weave will consolidate appointment reminders in one text for any family members that have appointments scheduled on the same day and confirm all family members' appointments upon receiving a positive reply.
In order to group messages for families, the reminder must:
- Go to the same phone number
- Be sent on the same day
- Be for members who have appointments on the same day
- Have all family appointments on the same reminder
