Send forms by text or email
Text or email a client a link that opens their forms straight away, with no portal sign-in, and see when it was delivered and opened.

A client fills in and signs the forms you send from their link. They don't need a portal account or a password.
Steps
- Open Clients and choose the client.
- In the Forms box, under Send forms, choose one or more forms.
- Under Send the link by, tick Text, Email or both. A channel that can't reach the client says why.
- Select Send form. The client gets a message that names your clinic and how many forms, never a form's title.
- The client opens the link and confirms their date of birth, if one is on the record. With none on the record, the link opens with one tap.
- Each form shows when the link was sent, whether it was delivered and when the client opened it.
- To send it again, select Resend by text or Resend by email. The new link replaces the old one for that form.
- To stop a link, select Turn off link.
Good to know
- A link works for 72 hours and only on your clinic's portal address. It stops once every form in it is sent.
- After five wrong dates of birth the link locks. Resend the form to give the client a new one.
- The link opens only the forms you sent with it, nothing else in the client's record. Signed-in clients still see the same forms in their portal.
- A marketing authorization still asks the client to sign in to their portal.
