2. Open an internet browser (like Chrome) and navigate to one of your practice's review sites - Google, Yelp, or Facebook - as if you're going to leave a review yourself. Then highlight and copy the website address from your address bar:

   

3. Back in your email template, find the corresponding Action Button tab for your review site (Google, Yelp, or Facebook):

   

4. Paste the website address you copied into the URL box:

   

5. Repeat Steps 2 - 5 for each review site you want included in your email.

6. For any review sites you don't want to include, click the corresponding Action Button tab and delete the text in the Text and URL boxes:

Step 3: Setting Your Email to Send at Checkout

Now you just need to set your template to send at checkout so when you dismiss a patient, they'll get your review request:

1. From the YAPI Dashboard, click Setup and Manage and select Global Setup.

2. When prompted, enter your YAPI password and click OK.

3. In the Global Setup window that opens, navigate to the Automation tab.

4. Right-click in the Emails on Checkout section and select Add Document:

   

5. In the Email Document window:

   

   • Select Email Template: Select the email template you created in Step 1 from the dropdown menu.

   • Subject: Leave this blank.  YAPI will automatically use the Subject line that's already in your email template.

   • Attach PDF Document: Leave this blank.

   • Send To: Select All if you want this setting to apply to all patients or select New Patients if you want this setting to apply only a patient's first visit.

   • How Often: Select how often you want your review request email to send at checkout:

     • Every Visit
     • Only Once
     • Once Every 3 Months - Sends to patients upon checkout only if 3 months has passed since their last visit.
     • Once Every 6 Months - Sends to patients upon checkout only if 6 months has passed since their last visit.
     • Once Every 12 Months - Sends to patients upon checkout only if 12 months has passed since their last visit.
       

       Warning!  DO NOT select the Never option when configuring this setting.  If you select this option, the automatic email you set up will never send.

6. Optional: Select Send only if no mobile phone if you only want this email to send at checkout for patients that don't have a mobile phone number in Dentrix, Open Dental, or Eaglesoft. 

7. Click Ok, then Save, then OK again.
