- Receiving the Daily Agenda and Evening Summary Emails in a group practice
Daily Agenda Email
The Daily Agenda Email is sent each morning to help you prepare for the day ahead. It contains the following information:

Schedule information

Upcoming client appointments for the day
- Confirmation/cancellation status of the day’s appointments
-
Upcoming client appointments for the day
- Appointment requests
- Reminders
- Payment updates, including:
- Invoices and balances due
Important: If no appointments are scheduled, no reminders are generated, and no billing changes occur within the last 24 hours, you won’t receive a Daily Agenda email. These emails are also disabled for the newest team members by default.
Note: The Daily Agenda Email only shows the Balance Due that accrued the day before. You can see all clients with outstanding balances in the Outstanding balances report. To learn more, see Outstanding balances snapshot.
Evening Summary Email
The Evening Summary Email is sent each evening, summarizing the events of the day. This email contains the following information:
- A summary of the appointments held that day
- A list of daily AutoPay amounts, if a client is enrolled
Important: If no appointments were held and no AutoPay payments were made overnight at 12 AM - 2 AM, you won’t receive an Evening Summary Email.
Opting in to receive emails
To start or stop receiving the Daily Agenda and Evening Summary Emails:
- Navigate to Settings > Notifications

Check the box for Daily Agenda Email and/or Evening Summary Email to begin receiving the respective emails
