Intake, Consent & Before/After Records

Q: Can patients upload before photos from their phone, or do they need a computer?

Patients receive a personalized upload link that works on any device, including phones and tablets. They can take and upload photos directly from their phone camera.

Q: Will this work with our existing patient management system?

Yes, the automation integrates with most major clinic management platforms and CRM systems. Your team will confirm compatibility during setup.

Q: What if a patient signs the consent form but doesn't complete the intake form?

The system tracks completion status for each document separately and alerts your team to any missing pieces so you can follow up with the patient before their appointment.

Q: How are before photos organized once they're uploaded?

Photos are automatically sorted into the patient's folder in your cloud storage with consistent naming based on date and photo type, eliminating manual organization work.

Patients arrive ready to treat, with signed consents and photos already filed, so staff can focus on care instead of paperwork.

About This Automation

New patient intake at cosmetic clinics requires collecting forms, consent signatures, and before photos across multiple channels and tools. Manual distribution, chasing missing documents, and re-entering data into the patient record consume significant staff time and delay treatment readiness.

Automation sends intake and consent forms directly to patients, captures digital signatures, collects photos via a branded upload link, and files everything into the patient record automatically. Treatment staff are notified the moment all documents are complete.

Key features:

Send intake and consent forms to patients automatically on appointment confirmation

Collect digital signatures with automatic compliance verification

Generate a personalized photo upload link for before images

Organize photos into patient folders with consistent naming

File signed documents directly into the patient record

Notify treatment staff when the patient is ready for their appointment

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. New Patient Appointment Confirmedtrigger

A new patient appointment is created or confirmed. The automation is triggered with the patient's name, email, phone, and appointment date.

2. Send Intake Form

A personalized intake form link is generated and sent to the patient's email. The form captures all required intake information in one step.

3. Send Consent for E-signature

A envelope with the clinic's consent form is sent to the patient for immediate digital signature. The patient signs electronically without printing or scanning.

4. Capture Intake Data

Responses are automatically parsed and written to the patient record, eliminating manual re-entry.

5. Store Signed Consent

The signed document is automatically saved to the patient's folder with a standardized naming convention.

6. Create Photo Upload Link

A shared folder link for before photos is automatically generated and sent to the patient, with instructions to upload images before their appointment.

7. Notify Team

Once intake and consent are complete, a notification is sent to the treatment team with the patient's name, appointment time, and a link to their complete file.
