Create an Add to Calendar link for appointments

When you send reminders to patients, you can include a link for them to add their appointment details to their personal calendars. With that, patients can be mindful of upcoming appointments, reducing no-shows and avoiding schedule conflicts.

Does your practice use online bookings? The Add to Calendar link can also be inserted into booking confirmation emails.

  4. Click Save.

When you send reminders using this template, the Add to Calendar link appears in the reminder. Patients can click this link to add their appointment details to their device calendars.

Note

The [Add To Calendar] dynamic term only populates in appointment reminders and online booking confirmation emails because they are linked to specific appointments. This term does not populate in one-off emails and SMS.
