There are 4 types of reminders that can be set-up for a client: Email, SMS, Phone, or Letter. Bp Allied can be used to send email or SMS reminders based on a defined template. Phone and letter reminders need to be carried out manually, however, Bp Allied does allow for the
confirmation that these reminders have been sent. Replies to SMS reminders can now be viewed within Bp Allied within the
SMS Replies tab.
