📚Thanks so much for all of your questions! Some of them definitely required me to think outside the box but also reminded me of how flexible Xplan can be in helping to automate processes.
There were some common themes around how to automate various activities in Xplan. I’ve included some links to a couple of useful community articles below in case you want to try out any of these in your practice!
- Email Templates
- SMS Email
- SMS Email System Settings
- Client Appointment Reminder via SMS
- Advanced Search
- Advanced Search - Adding and saving criteria
- Campaigns
- Manage Schedules
Tip when using Scheduler - don’t forget to enable it once you have set it up!!
Hi Courtney
Is there a way to send an automated templated email to a client on their Birthday?
Please also go through auto sending quarterly reports and sms reminders for appts also.
It would great if xplan task lists for a day could be ordered (like drag and drop) for priority (not just using priority drop down) - is this possible?
If there are any other xplan efficiency gems you know of and no one has asked about, please share, as we don't know, what we don't know until we know it!
Thanks ;)
Ordering task lists by for priority
This is absolutely possible! Are you using the new task hub? I hope so, it’s a new(ish) favourite feature of mine. In the new task hub you can sort your tasks by a variety of options, including priority:
From the classic tasks screen you can simply click on the column heading to sort by priority (If priority isn’t visible in your list of column, use the settings cog to the right of the tasks heading to select which columns you’d like to see.

Thanks, Courtney - I am still using Classic Tasks (old view) - it is what I know and love and great to see a day at a glance!
