Manage incoming secure messages

Incoming secure messages sent using a secure messaging service can be directed to Incoming Messages folder set in Options > Secure Messaging. Messages directed to be saved in this folder by the messaging service will be available within Bp Allied. There is no requirement for a practice to use the incoming messages folder, except if using the Bp Allied hosted subscription service.

Manage incoming secure messages

If a user has a secure messaging service set to Active in Options > Secure Messaging, the Incoming Messages form, available from the right-hand menu in the Appointment Book, will split into two. The bottom half of the form will display any messages received.
