Many times, it makes sense to send messages to more than one patient at a time to reduce the amount of time you spend preparing messages. The Bulk Action feature in Engagement allows you to send mass emails, texts, voicemails, review requests, forms/consents, and more!

Engagement has set limits for texts and emails that are sent in bulk:

Texts: 250 per hour for Bulk Messaging

Emails: 15,000 per hour for Bulk Messaging

Why are texts limited to 250 messages/hour? Text messages should only be used to send important office updates to impacted patients. Sending mass text messages runs the risk of the number being flagged as marketing/spam by carriers and not being able to communicate with patients via text. If your filtered list exceeds 250 patients, try using the age filter to reduce the size of your list.

As a general rule of best practices, marketing should always be done via email.
