Use the Message Set History tab of your Edge Reminders window, or the Reminders widget, to review the success rate of your message deliveries, the confirmed / canceled appointment responses you have received, and to listen to voice messages patients may have left regarding their appointment reminder. We recommend that you open Edge Reminders early in your day to listen to any patient messages, and review any appointment confirmations and cancellations you have received overnight.
Send Edge Reminders messages - Use the New Message Set tab of your Edge Reminders window to initiate appointment reminders, birthday greetings, and other messages to subgroups of patients via phone, email, and/or text.See "Send Edge Reminders Messages" for details.

If multiple responses are returned for the same appointment (i.e. Dad's cell phone cancels the appointment, then Mom's email confirms it), the most recent response is assumed to be correct. However, if one or more voice messages are left at any time, those responses takes precedence, no matter when they were received.
