Underneath a message box, you will see something called Replacement Strings. You can use Replacement Strings to autofill information like Patients First Name, Business Phone Number, etc. 

How to Use Replacement Strings:

1. In the first dropdown menu, select the category of information you wish to autofill: 

  • Account: options for the business information 

  • Appointment: options for the contact’s appointment details 

  • Contact: options for the contact’s information 

  • User: options for the sender’s information 

  • Links: options for the review links 

2. In the second dropdown menu, select the specific information you wish to autofill.

For Example:

  • Account: business name, phone number and/or address

  • Appointment: scheduled date and/or time

  • Contact: first name, last name, phone number and/or email

  • User: first name, phone number and/or email

  • Links: Google Review Link, Facebook Review Link and/or Yelp Check-In Link

3. Click Insert

You treat these replacement strings just like you would any other word with commas, spaces, periods, etc. before and after. The image below is an example:

In this example, Aloha will autofill the Contact's First Name and the Business Phone Number into the message!
