How to create a Response Template

This article explains how to create Response Templates and then add them to your Smart Templates.

Response Templates enable your patients to respond to a message that you have sent them, i.e. to decline a flu vaccine. Adding a response template to a Smart Template also allows you to code responses received in a Now/Reply or Batch Message.

Response Templates can be added to Smart messages, and appear as questions and answers like the example below:
