View source for Sending a Message to the Patient Portal


== Send Message to Portal ==

Messages can be originated from a practice user to a patient portal account by using the API '''PortalSendMessage'''.  This api is located on the '''PortalActions''' section on the Interactive API.  The entire patient demographic information can be provided in cases where the portal account is desired to be created on the fly.  The additional flag of CreatePatientWhenNecessary are required to be true to utilize this.  If the patient is already established, specify their id in the recipient field.

For example, if the patient ID on the practice's side is '''100''', the patientId field should be 100, or the recipient field could also be "patient:100"
