SMS Reminder Log

Correspondence > SMS > Log

Clinical keeps a log of SMS correspondence. This log keeps a record of every SMS message you send, including failed messages.

The log is accessed by selecting Correspondence > SMS > Log. Alternatively you can access it via the button at the top of the Clinical Window.

Only messages that have failed can be selected for re-sending. In the image above, the SMS message for Carolina Schein failed because the patient's mobile number was invalid (or, in this case, it was missing from the her record).

Carolina's failed SMS record is displayed in blue to indicate that you can now make another attempt to send the SMS message i.e. in this instance, her record was updated with a valid mobile number.

Send	Allows you to attempt to re-send a failed SMS message.

Carolina's SMS record here is displayed in blue to indicate that you can now make another attempt to send the SMS message i.e. in this instance, her record was updated with a valid mobile number. Only messages that have failed can be re-sent i.e. this button will be unavailable to individually-selected SMS records that have already been sent successfully. Note however, if you select a group of SMS records, and within that group there are one or more records that were sent successfully on a previous attempt, you will be notified that those messages will not be sent a second time, an example of which is shown below.
