Generate Web Sched Recall link

Post by sammyp42 » Mon Jan 22, 2018 11:59 pm

Is there a way to generate the web sched recall link without having it send out a email notification? I want to generate the custom URL so a third party solution can use it (using the record created in the database)... but I can't seem to find a good way of generating it.

There is not a way to currently doing that. I don't think we would be opposed to doing such a thing if our customers would find value from it.

Yes, I would really, really like that! This way we can have a marketing company customize messaging for recall appointments and reference the recall appointment link in patient communications. The messaging that comes with OD is good, but it's very, very basic. Right now, we'll probably set it up so patients will get two messages. One when the link is generated... and a second "cleaner" message from our marketing tool... either with link embedded (extracted from DB), and/or a message guiding them to the patient portal to schedule their recall (link already shows up there).

You can submit this as a feature request. The process for doing that is outlined on http://opendental.com/manual/featurerequests.html.
