Send video consultation link to patients

Each patient has a unique appointment link to access their video consultations via Halaxy Telehealth or Coviu. You can send patients their appointment link in two ways: automatically or manually.

Note

Video consultation links are visible only to the practitioner booked for the appointment. This is to ensure privacy and security.

Automatically send telehealth link through reminders

You can insert the link to the video consultation in your scheduled reminders via dynamic terms. To do this follow the steps below.

Click Settings > Reminders.
Expand the reminder settings of the group or practitioner you want to edit.
Under the Appointment Reminders section, click on the pencil icon of the reminder template you want to edit.

Recommended: Use a pre-appointment reminders to send the telehealth link before the scheduled appointment.
In the pop-up, tick the Message Type you want to send the reminder as.
Navigate to the Video Consultations tab to edit the template.
Insert the video link as a dynamic term in SMS and/or Email Message by positioning the cursor to where you want to insert the link, then click Dynamic Terms and select Video Consult Link.
Click Save. Do the same for other Video Consultation reminder templates, if needed.

The link to the appointment is now included in your scheduled reminders.
