Automation Workflows

Set the Rules,
Lightning Does the Rest

Build automation rules that trigger actions when things happen in your practice. When a patient changes status, misses an appointment, or hits a milestone, Lightning can send messages, create tasks, and update records automatically.

Rules That Run Your
Admin For You

Status-Based Triggers

Rules fire when patient statuses change. Move from active to debond? Lightning can send letters, update records, and assign tasks automatically.

Smart Reminders

Automated SMS and email reminders for appointments, follow-ups, and recalls. Patients get reminded without your team lifting a finger.

Task Creation

Automatically create tasks for your team when events happen. Missed appointment? A follow-up task appears on the right person's list.

Communication Triggers

Send emails and letters automatically based on status changes, milestones, or time-based rules. Welcome packs, retainer care guides, and recall notices go out on their own.

Custom Rules

Build your own rules with conditions, actions, and timing. If this happens, then do that, with delays and multiple actions.

Nothing Falls Through

Every rule logs its actions so you can audit what happened and when. If a reminder was sent or a task was created, you will see it.
