Show drop-off and pick-up times in appointment messages

Appointment messages usually show the scheduled time of an appointment. As an alternative, a practice manager can configure appointment messages to show drop-off and pickup times for an appointment type.

To make the change, do this procedure.
  1. Open Vello from ezyVet.
  2. In the left sidebar, select Appointment Reminders.
    The Appointment Reminders command
    Note: If the left sidebar is closed, select the appointment reminders button:

    Vello shows an Appointment Reminders screen.
  3. In the Appointment Types section, select Edit for the applicable appointment type.
    Appointment Types section with an Edit button
    Note: Vello does not send appointment reminders for:
    • Euthanasia appointments
    • End-of-life appointments
    • Deceased patients

    As a result, Vello does not show euthanasia or end-of-life appointment types as available to configure in the Appointment Types section of the Appointment Reminders screen.

  4. Set appointment time to Custom.
    Note: Vello automatically sets the appointment time to As Scheduled. The As Scheduled setting uses the appointment start time from the ezyVet calendar.
  5. Use the Drop-off and Pickup settings to set the times as necessary.
    Appointment time section that shows custom settings.

  6. Select Done.
    The Done button
  7. Select Publish Changes.
