When an error occurs with your practice server, internet connection or EXACT, your SMS may be placed into a failed state, where they will remain in your outbox until manual intervention to reset or delete the communication.

💡 Tip: Failed communications will display a white and red cross icon in the first column in your outbox.

Resetting and Sending Failed SMS

💡 Tip: Double-click an SMS to open and view the content, check for dates and delete any communications that are outdated or irrelevant. Sending SMS for past appointments can cause confusion and more work for receptionists as they manage queries about these old communications!

⚠️ Please Note: This feature manages both your SMS and email communications, so check all failed communications, not just your email.
