How do patients access their portal?

Patients access their portal using a link which they can use on their phone, laptop or other personal device.

You can add the portal link to SMS' and emails using the merge field [patient.portalURL]

How and when are forms added to a patients portal for them to complete?

When appointment reminders are sent, if the merge field [patient.portalURL] is present in the email or SMS Exact will check which forms the patient needs to complete for their appointment and send them to the portal automatically.

When we turn on Patient Portal we add templates to your reminders which contain the merge field. If you want to use your own templates you just need to add the merge field to your existing templates. You can add the merge field to all three appointment reminders, or just one.

Where are forms saved after a patient completes them?
