Setting-up Templates with Attached Files 

If you are sharing the same attachments regularly, you may wish to upload these attachments to your own document template and save. When creating a new document using these newly created templates, the pre-uploaded attachments will be automatically uploaded. Share documents as described above.
​    


Receiving Files From Clients and Contacts

Using Kalix, clients and contacts can easily send you attachments via email. They must email the email address associated with their Kalix account (find this under messaging settings). Alternatively, they can reply to any email message sent via Kalix (appointment notices, appointment reminders, billing & late payment reminders, and ad hoc messaging).
​  

The attachments are sent directly to your Kalix account and not via email. You can transfer the attachment to the document section of their cover page.

The files will be saved against the messaging section of the client's or contact's file.

Click on the attachment's name to download.
​  

It is also available in your Messaging Inbox.
​    

   
You can directly transfer the attachment to the client's or contact's document section. To do this, click on the Share icon.

The Transfer Attachment window will appear.
​    

 

Could you complete the necessary details and click Copy.
​    

 The file will be copied to the Document section of the client's cover page.  


  Sharing Attachments via Telehealth

Kalix allows you to share documents during a Telehealth session.

The client will have to access the document and download it prior to ending the session as it will disappear when the Telehealth session ends.

Steps:

1. During your Telehealth Session click on the 3 dots. Then click on Share a File.
​   

2. Select the source of your documents from the Pop-up window.

You may choose Shared Uploads (documents you have saved in your Kalix), from Client Uploads or from your computer.

3. Click on the file you wish to share.

The file you shared will show up on the chat and the client should be instructed to download and save prior to ending the Telehealth session.
