Set up letter templates

Design letter templates for practitioners to use in your business. Send to contacts and clients and include your signature.

Letter templates can be stored and then sent to clients and contacts at a later date, or for sending regular letters.

Placeholders help automate letter writing, including adding a practitioner's signature, business details, case, or time.

    In the letter, you can use placeholders. These are powerful tools, which can dynamically replace information in the letter with information from your business, including, but not limited to, business and business name, patients, practitioners, dates, cases, and contacts. Tables can also be added to your letter, and placeholders can be added to those.
