Message Templates allow you to save time by creating, storing, and reusing messages that you send on a regular basis. Once created, you can send a message template to a patient group right away or schedule delivery for a future date and time. Set up and store as many email templates as you require -- from a thank you email to targeted marketing communications, every message is addressed from you and delivered to each recipient's individual inbox.
