A client record can have both an emergency contact or a secondary contact. These are separate options in the client record
Add a Secondary Contact
Secondary contacts will receive email notifications along with the client. This may be useful for clients that require a guardian to sign forms or waivers, pay invoices or someone to follow up with notifications that require the client to take action.
To add a secondary contact to a client's record,
- Navigate to My Clients and double-click on a client's name or click Edit to the right of their name to go to their Basic information section.
- Scroll down to the Secondary Contact section and check the box to Include a secondary contact when sending email notifications to this client and enter the secondary contact information.
- Click Save Changes near the top-right.
Please note that this option is not available to sub/child accounts that are part of a family record. Only the primary record can have a secondary contact.
Add an Emergency Contact
An emergency contact can be added to a client record to keep on file. This is just for documentation purposes. The emergency contact won't receive any client notifications.
- Navigate to My Clients and double-click on a client's name or click Edit to the right of their name to go to their Basic information section.
- Click the Fast Action Button in the bottom-right.
- Select Add Emergency Contact.
- Enter the emergency contact's information in the pop-up. The first name, last name, and relationship are the minimum required fields.
- Click Done at the bottom-right of the pop-up.
- Click Save Changes near the top-right.
