Epic Appointment Reminders (Call, Text or Email) - Create a Custom Report

This article describes how to create a custom report so you can export and securely upload your daily appointment file to 1800notify.com.   This method generally does not require any support from your Information Technology or Epic Support personnel - it's fully self-service!

IMPORTANT: 1-800 Notify can also work with Epic Systems in a fully hands-off automated manner (no manual running of reports and exporting them by your staff) - all we need to make this happen is that your Information Systems Dept. that controls your Epic implementation enable something called Automated Notices.  If you're interested in learning more, please email us at info@1800notify.com.

Once you complete the steps in this article, then take a look at this related article showing how you can run a custom report: https://1800notify.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/217936023

TIP: If you need help getting this done, just call us at 1-800-939-1853.  We're here to help!

NOTE: We do have a fully automated Epic Export function that can be seen in this related article, this automated method does require your Information Technology / Epic Support personnel to help set it up.
