Set the Recipient for Online Forms Email Notifications

Core Forms

There are 5 core online forms with the template (Cancel an Appointment, Friends and Family Test, Order a Repeat Prescription, Register with the Practice and Update your Details).

Each form must have an email recipient set so that when a patient submits the form online, the email notification is sent to the Practice containing the submitted data.

For core forms, the recipient can be set by editing the corresponding page. If the recipient field is left blank, the form will automatically use the recipient defined in its own Notification settings, found in the “Forms” section of the dashboard.
