Recall Automation Settings
Please talk to the Dentally Support Team before you enable this.
Enable/disable recall automation here using the check box
The daily dispatch cap is the total number of recall messages that you wish to send each day. This setting allows you to manage your daily email or SMS or Dentally Mail quota, preventing you from overloading your system or running up an unexpected bill.
If you have more recalls to be sent than you have allowed in your daily limit, the remaining recalls will be sent the next day. The number of outstanding daily recalls is displayed.
Select which days you want to send automated recalls. As recall messages are likely to evoke a response, we recommend you end them on days that the practice is open so that you can book in the appointments.
Save your automated recall options.
