How to Schedule a Chat Message

You can schedule messages in SigmaMD to send at a specific date and time—ideal for timely follow-ups or reminders.

To schedule a message:

1. Open the patient chat where you want to write the message.
2. Type your message (you can also attach files).

3. Click the Schedule send button next to the message field.

   

4. Choose one of the quick options (Send tomorrow at 8:00 am or Send next Monday at 8:00 am) or use Choose date and time to select a custom schedule.

   

5. For Choose date and time, pick the date and time in Schedule Message and click Confirm. The quick options schedule the message right away, and times follow your personal time zone.

   

Note: You must enter message text or attach at least one file to schedule a message.

 Once scheduled, a 1 scheduled message link appears in the chat. Click it to open Scheduled Messages, where you can view, edit, or stop sending the message before it goes out. The recipient won't receive it until the scheduled time.
