Automated School Absence Note Generation

Every evening, WebRun opens Oryx Dental, lists the children seen that day, generates a school or daycare absence note per child in Google Docs on your letterhead with the visit date and time, and drafts a Gmail message to each guardian for your front desk to review and send.

In short

How do I automatically generate school absence notes after visits?

WebRun reviews the day's pediatric visits in Oryx Dental each evening and generates a school absence note per child in Google Docs on your letterhead, showing the visit date and times only. It then drafts a Gmail message to each guardian and holds it for your front desk to review and send, so families get proof of the visit quickly.

  • Guardians get a proper absence note without asking at the desk
  • Notes confirm attendance only, keeping clinical detail private
  • No note is sent to a guardian without front-desk approval

Questions, answered

Will it email absence notes to guardians on its own?

No. Each note email is saved as a Gmail draft and waits for your front desk to review and send. No message or attachment reaches a guardian without a person approving it first.

Does the note include treatment details?

No. The note confirms attendance and the visit date and times only, with no clinical or treatment detail, so it is safe to share with a school or daycare while records stay in Oryx Dental.

What about children who did not show up?

It skips any no-show or cancellation and generates notes only for children who actually attended, so no absence note is created for a visit that did not happen.
