Automations let you set up rules that trigger actions automatically, saving time on manual tasks and ensuring consistent processes across your team.

What Can Automations Do?

Here are some examples:

  • When a high-risk form is submitted → update worklist status to "Urgent"
  • When a new encounter is created → automatically send an intake form
  • When a specific form is completed → update the encounter status to "Ready for Review"

Creating an Automation

  1. Go to Clinic Settings from the top navigation, then click Automations in the left sidebar
  2. Click New Automation

Step 1: Choose a Trigger

Select what event starts the automation:

TriggerWhen It Fires
Form SubmittedWhen a specific form is completed by a patient
Encounter CreatedWhen a new patient encounter is added

Step 2: Add Conditions (Optional)

Make your automation more specific by adding conditions:

  • Only trigger if a certain field has a specific value
  • Only trigger if a risk score exceeds a threshold

Conditions let you target exactly the situations where you want the automation to run.

Step 3: Choose Actions

Select what should happen when the trigger fires:

ActionWhat It Does
Update Worklist StatusChange the encounter's status in a specific worklist column
Send FormAssign a form to the patient

Step 4: Review and Activate

  1. Review your automation configuration
  2. Toggle the status to active to enable it (or leave disabled for later)
  3. Click Create Automation
