Send a survey using automated rules

Automated rules allow the survey to be sent automatically when an event is generated by another system, such as the change of status of an appointment, or the discharge of a patient in the ADT (admission-discharge-transfer).


Before you begin

Make sure that your systems have been integrated with Lime, and that the functionality has been enabled. The systems available may vary from workspace to workspace.


Create a rule

  1. Access the list of Surveys via the main navigation.

  2. Navigate to the detail page of your survey.

  3. Click on the Sharing tab.

  4. Click on the Create rule button in the Automated sending rules section.

  5. Choose a System.

  6. Choose a Trigger condition available in this system (ex: The patient has completed their appointment).

  7. Click on the Add a filter button.

  8. Select a Filter.

  9. Select a Value.

Note that you can add multiple filters to your rule.


Add a delay on the automated sending rules

It is possible to add, or not, a delay on the automated sending rules, by choosing the number of days after which to send the survey, and at what time to send it. The delay will apply to future events for all automated sending rules.

  1. Choose a sending method

  2. Choose a sending delay

  3. Choose a time period in days.

  4. Choose a time to send.

  5. Click on Save.

There are several sending methods available, some of which allow you to use an alternative sending method if the contact information of the main sending method is not available. This way, you may have a better chance of reaching your recipients. Please note that only one sending will be done by the primary or alternative method (email or SMS).
