The ability to customise your automated messages is a power feature of the Tuotempo CRM platform. This tutorial shows you how.

Where to begin

Log in to the tuOtempO admin zone:

app.tuotempo.com

Go to > Setup > Communication

The Message Composer

Click on the message of your choice. On the right of your screen appears the Message Composer interface.

Click on a message title to show the composer

Click on a message title to show the composer

There are three tabs at the top of the Message Composer interface corresponding to the different types of message available : SMS, Email and Voice.

Click on the tab of your choice.

Composing your message

A message is made up of standard texts which are the same for all patients and custom variables which change from message to message : for example the variable [TRD3] is used for the name of patient. A message Dear [TRD3]… will read Dear Fiona… for a patient named Fiona and Dear Robert… for a patient named Robert.

Compose the standard text of your choice and then use the dropdown menu to find the variables you need.

When you insert a variable, you will see what your message will look like when sent to a patient in the new preview box below:

TipWhere there is only one possible value for a variable it will appear as black text in the preview window: Elm Tree Clinic in the example above corresponds to the variable [TRD0] – center name. Where the data is sample data, it will appear as blue. 10:30 in the example above corresponds to the variable [TRD9] – Appointment starting time

Some useful variables

Experiment with the variables to test their functionality. Here are just some examples that you might find useful:

  • TRD23 Service Requirements – Remind patients of what they need to bring along. This variable changes from service to service and is configured in Setup> Center > Services
  • TRD46 SSN Barcode – Send a barcode by email to your patients for automated checkin
  • TRD24 Location Notes – Give patients direction instructions that are specific to a given location. This variable changes from location to location and is configured in Setup> Center > Locations
