Send a message using automated rules
Automated rules allow the message 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.

Navigate to the detail page of your message.

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 message, and at what time to send it. The delay will apply to future events for all automated sending rules.

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.
