Communicating with a Client

Once you have set up your profile, clients can find your company in the Provider Search and get into conversation with you. 

As soon as a client sends a message, you will get a notification via email and/or SMS.

Unread messages appear next to the Messaging Center in Provider Automation.

Quick Tips

  • We highly recommend that you enter a phone number in the Business Information on the Profile. Thus, you will get SMS notifications when new messages from clients appear.

  • Chats with unread messages are marked with a blue dot. Company names appear in bold.

Handle with care

Be careful when deciding to delete a chat, you will not be able to reach out to this client via the Messaging Center unless the client texts you themselves.

How to Send a Message to a Client

 

  1. 
Click the chat icon 

     in the upper-right corner of any page in Provider Automation. The chat page appears.

    You will see that the companies that you are in-network for are marked with In Network. Messages from unknown clients will not have the In Network status unless they invite you to their Private Network in the Provider Search.
