Export messages and records
Export one chat for a patient's record, every message on a phone number for a date range, or your organization's membership history.
Who can do this: Everyone · Web and desktop
When you need a copy of what was said, for a patient's chart, a records request or a compliance review, you can export it from BloomText. Choose the export that fits the request:
- One chat, as a PDF transcript with its files. Anyone in the chat can do this.
- Every message on a phone number for a date range. Organization admins only.
- Your organization's membership history, as a CSV. Organization admins only.
Export one chat
- In your chat list, open the chat you need.
- Click the ... menu at the top right of the chat.
- Click Export this chat.
- Under Date range, choose All time for the whole chat, or Custom range to set From and To dates.
- Leave Include files shared by participants in the export on to add the photos and documents the family sent.
- Click Export chat. BloomText builds the file in the background.
- When it's ready, your browser downloads a ZIP file with the chat as a PDF. File the PDF in the patient's record.
Export every message on a phone number
- In the left bar, click Directory.
- Click the Teams tab.
- Click the team that owns the number, for example Front Desk.
- On the Overview tab, click Export SMS logs.
- Set the From and To (Inclusive) dates. You can export messages from the last 180 days.
- Click Export.
- A bar confirms Export has been requested.
- When the file is ready, the download starts. Save it with your compliance records.
To keep a longer history, export regularly, for example once a quarter, and keep each file with your records.
Export your membership history
The membership history lists everyone who has been in your organization: when they were invited, approved and removed, and by whom.
- Click Settings, the gear at the bottom of the left bar.
- Click Organizations.
- Click your practice. Admins land on the Members tab.
- Find the download icon next to Add members, at the right end of the toolbar.
- Click it.
- The Export members window asks to request a CSV file with the complete membership history of your organization.
- Click Export. The CSV file downloads in your browser. Close cancels instead.
- Give the file to whoever asked for it, such as an auditor.
Membership history export is part of the paid plans.
