⚠️ Important: In the fall of 2024, TELUS Collaborative Health Record (CHR) Connect will be replacing UpPatient. If you are currently using UpPatient, contact chrconnectsupport@telus.com for more information on how to start using the Connect app.
If you invite patients through the TELUS Collaborative Health Record (CHR) to download and register for the TELUS CHR patient app (UpPatient), you can customize the email or SMS invitation message patients receive.
⚠️ Important: When possible, use email notifications (which are free) instead of SMS messages (which come at a cost when you exceed your clinic's monthly limit). See SMS overage charges.
Steps
1. From the TELUS CHR main menu, click Settings > Notifications.
A list of patient notifications displays.
