Message Communication - Bulk messages
Message Communication
The system has the ability to apply alerts to multiple accounts or send out communication in bulk via Text, Letter, Portal or Email.

You can find access this feature under Administration>Message Communication

Sending Communications Out
In order to use this feature, you need to carry out two key tasks prior to sending.
1. Create and Execute an Advanced Report Builder Query or an AI Query Builder Query of the people you wish to use the Message Communication for e.g. All Patients 65 year of age or older who have not had a flu vaccination this year. Ensure that the Advanced Report Builder is ticked as indici enabled, or if using the AI Query Builder, ensure Message Communication is ticked.
2. Create a Mail Merge Document of what you wish to say. This document will be one of the communication modes such as Text or Email and will have System Use ticked.
Once you have completed the above, you can then:
- select the relevant Query
- Select the Type of Communication Template- i.e. email, text etc
- Select the relevant Mail Merge Document
- If sending by Letter, email or Portal you will be required to enter a subject.
- Click Generate

A list of patients that will receive the communication will appear.
