What triggers a notification
| Event | Who is notified | Setting |
|---|---|---|
| An appointment is assigned to you | The assigned staff | Appointment assigned |
| Your appointment changes | The assigned staff | Appointment updated |
| Your appointment starts soon | The assigned staff | Appointment reminders, with Remind before appointment (minutes) |
| A follow-up is assigned to you | The assigned staff | Follow-up assigned |
| Your follow-up is due soon | The assigned staff | Follow-up reminders, with Remind before follow-up due (minutes) |
