AdvancedMD to Spruce Health: Appointment-Based Messaging

What this workflow does

This workflow is triggered whenever a new appointment is created or an existing appointment is updated in AdvancedMD. Once triggered, it searches for the corresponding patient contact in Spruce Health using identifying information (such as name, phone number, or email).

If a matching contact is found in Spruce, the workflow automatically sends a message to the patient through Spruce Health. This message can be used for appointment confirmations, updates, reminders, or follow-ups based on the appointment details received from AdvancedMD.

The automation ensures that appointment activity inside your EHR immediately drives patient communication - without staff needing to manually copy information or send separate messages.

Why it matters

Appointment changes happen constantly - new bookings, reschedules, and updates. Manually tracking these changes and reaching out to patients is time-consuming and prone to delays.

By connecting AdvancedMD directly to Spruce Health, this workflow ensures patients receive timely, consistent communication tied directly to their appointment record. It reduces front-desk workload, improves patient engagement, and minimizes missed appointments caused by communication gaps.

Who this is for

This template is designed for practices using AdvancedMD as their EHR/PM system and Spruce Health for patient communication.
