Spruce Happenings
It’s time for your quarterly dose of all things Spruce! We’ve rounded up the noteworthy happenings since our last update to keep you in-the-know. Read on to find out more about the newest Spruce features and enhancements, quick tips and helpful ‘how tos’, a look into our community, some new content we’ve created, and events where you can find us!
New Features
We continue to develop new features that are intended to make your experience with Spruce even stronger. Two standouts this quarter are major improvements to Bulk Messages and Scheduled Messages. Read on for details!
Scheduled Messages
We’re thrilled to introduce a new web-based Scheduled Messages tab that enables users to view and manage scheduled messages that have been created but not sent. As a Spruce administrator, you’ll see scheduled messages that have been created by everyone on your team. If you are not an admin, you’ll see your own scheduled messages and can edit the content or delete the message at any time. The Scheduled Messages tab lives just above the new Bulk Messages tab and is very intuitive to set up, mimicking the workflow of most calendaring systems. Just create your content, choose a date and time, and set it to deploy. Scheduled messages can be used in both patient and team conversations. Give it a try to see how easy it is to use and how much time you’ll save each day! |

Bulk Messages
Spruce has just released a new Bulk Messages tab, available on the web. From this tab, users will be able to view queued, in-progress, completed, and paused bulk sends as well as be able to cancel bulk message runs. This is exciting for several reasons! Users now have the ability to send bulk email, in addition to bulk SMS, secure messages, and bulk patient invites. Users can now also schedule bulk messages to send in the future—a much-requested feature! It’s easy to create contact lists based on tags and bulk message specific groups with announcements, reminders, and more. Bulk messaging is available on the Spruce Communicator plan. If you are interested in giving this feature a try, you can save 40% on your first three months, bringing the cost down to just $29/mo/per user. Drop us a note at greetings@sprucehealth.com to get set up!* Read more about Bulk Messaging in our help center! Or, tune into a short video that covers the highlights! |

Trusted Calling and Texting
Major improvements have been made to trusted calling and SMS texting on Spruce. Practices that register business phone numbers via Spruce will now automatically benefit from several types of new industry verification programs, which will help prevent your calls and text messages from being blocked or marked as spam. This ensures reliable and seamless communication at all times. To learn more about these upgrades, visit our help center. |
