Email Clients from the Schedule

Modified on Thu, 15 Sep 2022 at 03:30 PM

You can email multiple clients with scheduled services on a specific day or date range, from the schedule (List View, Column View or Compact View). This is helpful in many instances such as:

If service is cancelled on a snow day or holiday
To confirm service with vacation clients in advance of their service
Remind clients to update their care details.
Confirm clients have returned home from vacation.
Inform clients when a staff member calls out and you reassign the services.

Tip: For any selected emails you can also CC staff assigned to the services..

Note: If the email template you need is not available, you can create a new one. See Adding, Editing and Deleting Email Templates.
