Create a New Campaign Message with a Flow Reply

When should I Use the Flow Reply feature? 

When creating a Broadcast Campaign Message, you have the option to ask questions of your audience. To ensure the best experience, you can define how the system will answer their reply as well as decide if you would like their Flow Reply to show in the Triage.

For example, when you ask a Patient (or Caregiver) to confirm they are coming to an Appointment by replying OK, you can have the system respond with “Thanks for confirming your appointment, we will see you soon.” However, if someone replies with RS to reschedule their Appointment, you may want to respond with: "Sorry to hear you cannot keep your appointment, someone will call you on this number to reschedule.” Additionally, you will want that message to be displayed in your Triage so that your staff is aware of which Patients have asked to reschedule their appointments.
