1. How SMS Opt-In Works

SMS consent is captured on the clinic signup form shown above. Every consent element follows these rules:

  • Both SMS consent checkboxes are unchecked by default β€” no consent is pre-selected or implied.
  • Consent is granted only by an explicit, affirmative action: the patient must check the box themselves.
  • Consent to promotional messages is separate from consent to appointment and service messages.
  • Consent to promotional SMS messages is not a condition of purchase or medical treatment; both options are voluntary.
  • The full disclosure text is displayed directly beside each checkbox at the point of opt-in, including message frequency, potential rates, and STOP/HELP keywords.
  • Each patient record stores the consent selections (sms_appointment_consent, marketing_consent) at the time of signup.
