Contacts
What it is: the address book behind Conversations — one card per person or number your clinic has texted or called.
What's on a contact
- Name and phone number (and email if known).
- Their entire communication history — every SMS and call.
- Links to their patient record or enquiry when the number matches one.
Using contacts
- Open Contacts from the menu, search by name or number.
- From a contact card you can text, call (opens the dialer), or jump to their patient/enquiry record.
- Numbers that message you first (say, a reply to a reminder from a number you didn't have) appear here automatically — put a name on them so the next person isn't guessing.
Common questions
Contact and patient — same thing? No. A contact is "a phone number we've talked with". A patient is a clinical record. They link up when the number matches, but a contact might be a partner clinic, a supplier, or someone who never booked.
