Convenience Mode

By default, the platform is set in Privacy Mode which means that the actual content of messages is not included in email notifications sent outside the platform. This protects the privacy of the messages and helps ensure compliance with HIPAA and other privacy frameworks.

You have the option of enabling Convenience Mode. When this feature is enabled, the content of your messages WILL be included in the email notifications AND your recipient will be able to simply reply to the email notification and send a message back via email - without logging into the platform. Their response by email will be read by the platform and inserted into the appropriate messaging thread.

If you want the contents of the Message to be in the email notifications you send navigate to Flyout Menu > Company Settings.

In the Privacy / Convenience Modes section there is a toggle to enable Convenience Mode.

When this feature is enabled, your recipient will be able to simply reply to the email notification and send a message back via email. Their response will be read by the platform and inserted into the appropriate thread.

WARNING: By enabling this setting, HIPAA compliance cannot be guaranteed. If you are working with sensitive information that is required by law to be privacy compliant, you should NOT enable this setting.
