Best Practices

  • Shorten your links using the short links provided in your admin panel.

    • Don't create your own bit.ly links (they can cause deliverability issues with texts)

    • If you need to send a text with a short link to something other than your bit.ly link, you can contact support, and we can help you generate a custom RepeatMD short link

  • Personalize placeholders like [PRACTICENAME], <LINK>, and [WELCOMEOFFER] before sending.

  • Add app links to all appointment texts to passively promote downloads.

  • Test your messages using the Test Text Message feature located at the bottom of your text message builder in your Admin Panel to send a test text message to yourself before deploying to your patients.

  • Send in bursts - start with a launch, follow with reminders, and finish with final-day urgency if applicable.
