Send digital intake forms

Digital intake forms let patients fill out medical history, consent, and insurance details on their phone before they arrive — no paper, no clipboard. Start from a template or build your own with the drag-and-drop editor, send it by SMS, email, or a shareable link, and review submissions in one place. Intake forms are a paid feature (Elite and above).

Updated July 28, 20261 min read

Digital intake forms replace the paper clipboard. Patients complete medical history, consent, and insurance details on their own device before the visit, and everything lands in FrontDesk ready to review.

Intake forms are a paid feature. They're available on Elite and above. If you don't see Engage → Intake Forms, upgrade under Billing.

Open it from Engage → Intake Forms.

Start from a template

The Template Library has ready-made forms for common needs — medical history, consent, insurance, and more. Pick one as your starting point and adjust the fields to match your practice.

Build or customize a form

The Form Builder is a drag-and-drop editor with three parts:

  • Field palette — drag in the field types you need (short text, choices, dates, signatures, and more).
  • Canvas — arrange and reorder the form.
  • Properties panel — set a field's label, whether it's required, and its options.

Preview the full form before sending so you see exactly what the patient will.

Send forms to patients

Use Send Form to deliver it by:

  • SMS — a text with a secure link
  • Email — sent from your verified practice sender
  • Shareable link — paste it anywhere, or add it to a booking confirmation

Review submissions

Completed forms appear in the Submissions table. Open any one to read the patient's answers, and keep them attached to your records.

Good to know

  • Pairs with booking. Send a form right after an online booking so patients arrive ready.
  • It's PHI. Submissions are protected health information, encrypted, and covered by your BAA.

Frequently asked questions

Is digital intake included in my plan?
Intake forms are a paid feature available on Elite and above. If you don't see Engage → Intake Forms, check your plan under Billing and upgrade to enable it.
Do I have to build forms from scratch?
No. Start from the Template Library — medical history, consent, insurance, and more — then tweak the fields you want. You can also build a form from a blank canvas with the drag-and-drop editor.
How do patients receive a form?
Send it by SMS, email, or a shareable link from the Send Form option. Patients complete it on their phone or computer; their answers come back to the Submissions table.
Is intake data secure?
Yes. Submissions are protected health information, encrypted, and covered by your BAA. Only your team can view them.
