Convert Email Contact to Text Contact

If you previously used VP Reminder to send text messages, and now want to use Edge Reminders, you can use Data Tool 610 - Convert Email # To Text # to convert the contacts you had been using for those VP Reminder text messages into the text message format used by Edge Reminders.

This tool should be run only if you previously used VP Reminders, and have now set up your system for Edge Reminders. Running this data tool changes how contacts you have flagged for text messaging in patient folders and responsible party records communicate with your system. Specifically, contacts you flagged to receive text messages for VP Reminder will be restructured for Edge Reminders, and will no longer work for sending text messages via VP Reminder.
