Facebook Messenger vs. Text Request

Facebook Messenger serves my business for quick client interaction and for timely updates. The software allows me to share to one of many people and receive feedback quickly to keep working. The ability to see people available is also key in creating even further efficiencies. I also love file sharing through the platform

Text Request is appropriate for all kinds of scenarios! I really have NOT found a situation where Text Request was not suitable to use to try and reach a patient. We have used TR to contact a patient that we have received a referral from their Primary Doctor and we need to schedule an evaluation, we have used TR for insurance and Billing, we have used TR for contacting patients that missed a visit and to reschedule.

• I think so far the only improvement I could suggest would be to be able to "un-send" a text within like 30 secs in case you send something out incorrectly.
• Maybe adding more emojis
• When sending a file make the size of the pic they see bigger

Text Request is very user friendly. I started using the Text Request platform on Day 1 without any specific instructions and I was able to figure it out very easily!

I have never used the support

Facebook Messenger is a more popular chat solution and allows you to reach clients more quickly compared to whatsapp. I've found whatsapp to be a little fraudulent around contact information and people not known to me reaching out. Facebook Messenger has moments of this too but it is less regular

I use Hatch for my service businesses because they integrate with our CRM tool and Text Request does not. I am NOT a fan - their support is not even half as good as TR but they fill a need that our company has. I like the technology, customer service and ease of use that Text Request gives to us - I just want them to integrate with my CRM! If so, I'd leave Hatch in a heartbeat!

• That is not something we see from an office standpoint. This is something that our Headquarters would keep track of.
• What I can say is that the amount of patients being scheduled after implementing TR has been in an upward trend.
• Also patients that missed their appointments are more likely to reschedule when being able to do so with just a text message
