My referral appears to be stuck

Understand why a referral may not be progressing and what you can do next.

Written by Holly

If a client referral doesn't appear to be progressing, the first step is to check its current status in the Vively Practitioner Platform.

In many cases, the referral is waiting for an action to be completed by the client or another party involved in the referral process.


1. Check the referral status

Open the relevant client in your Practitioner Dashboard and review the referral status.

The status can help you understand where the referral is currently sitting and whether further action is required.


2. Check whether your client needs to take action

Depending on the referral, your client may still need to complete one or more steps, such as:

  • opening their invitation

  • reviewing the referral

  • completing payment, where applicable

  • creating or accessing their Vively account

  • providing required information or consent.

If the referral is waiting on your client, ask them to complete the outstanding steps using the link provided by Vively.


3. Check whether the invitation was received

If your client hasn't started the process, confirm that they received their Vively invitation.

Ask them to check their Spam or Junk folder and confirm that the email address entered for them is correct.

Where available, you can resend the invitation from the Practitioner Platform.


4. Allow time for external steps to be completed

Some referrals involve additional steps before they can progress.

For example, a pathology referral may need to move through the relevant referral and collection process before results become available. The status displayed in the

Practitioner Platform will help you monitor its progress.
