Migrate your Demandforce data
Patient communication and engagement platform for healthcare practices, with automated reminders, two-way texting, and reputation management built around a hub-and-spoke model that depends on practice management software as the system of record.
In its favor
Why people choose Demandforce
The signal that keeps Demandforce on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Multi-channel appointment reminders across email, text, and voice reduce no-show rates without manual front-office effort, particularly valued by multi-location practices on the Enterprise tier.
Two-way texting gives patients a direct line to confirm or cancel appointments, and the hotlist feature automatically fills cancellations from a waiting list.
Automated review collection posts to Google, Facebook, and specialty healthcare directories, building online reputation with zero staff involvement after initial setup.
Integration with existing practice management software like Eaglesoft, Open Dental, or Pillatpac means little disruption to established clinical workflows.
Online booking embedded in the practice website converts website visitors into appointments without requiring phone tag between front desk and patients.
Glitches and delays in appointment management cause missed or duplicate reminders, leaving patients confused about their confirmed appointment times.
Notification failures mean patients do not receive confirmations or reminders, undermining the core value proposition of the platform.
Customer service response times are cited as a pain point, with users reporting difficulty reaching support when glitches occur.
Reporting is described as basic, with power users spending significant time extracting meaningful campaign and retention insights from limited dashboards.
Price-to-value friction emerges when practices realize they are paying primarily for the review request feature while other capabilities go unused.

What gets migrated
Demandforce object support
Object-by-object support for Demandforce migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Patients
Mapping requiredDemandforce holds patient contact data but derives the authoritative record from the connected PMS. During migration scoping we identify whether patient records were created directly in Demandforce or synced from the PMS, as this affects whether we import them as new records or remap the PMS reference.
Appointments
Mapping requiredAppointments are synced from the connected practice management system via scheduled pushes. We map appointment confirmation statuses, types, and timestamps, but scheduling authority remains in the PMS—the appointment record in Demandforce is a communication mirror, not the system of record.
Appointment Types
Fully supportedAppointment Type is a configured filter used to scope which appointments participate in sync and reminder workflows. This configuration carries over cleanly and we preserve it during migration.
Contact Types
Fully supportedContact Type is a taxonomy field that scopes which contact roles are included in synchronization. The configured Contact Type list migrates directly as part of the sync filter settings.
Entity Types
Fully supportedEntity Type is a configured filter identifying which PMS record types sync to Demandforce. We preserve the Entity Type filter configuration during migration.
Reviews
Mapping requiredReview requests are triggered post-visit and collected across Google, Facebook, and specialty healthcare sites. We export review content, scores, and response logs. Review request automation sequences are not directly portable and are noted for manual rebuild.
Email Campaigns
Mapping requiredCampaign templates, audience segments, and send history are stored in Demandforce. Template content migrates; open/click engagement metrics transfer as historical logs. Automated campaign triggers tied to appointment events require configuration in the new platform.
Two-Way Text Messages
Mapping requiredText message threads are logged per patient with timestamps and direction. We export thread content and associate with patient records. HIPAA-compliant archiving requirements are flagged during scoping to ensure no compliance gaps in the destination.
Recall Records
Mapping requiredRecall tracks inactive or lapsed patients due for appointments. We preserve recall due dates, associated appointment types, and outreach status. Recall rules triggering automated outreach need manual rebuild in the destination system.
Business Listings
Mapping requiredDemandforce manages listings across 150+ platforms. We export current listing data and claim status. The automated listing management feature does not export as data—practices must re-establish listing management relationships in the destination platform.
Patient Portal
Mapping requiredPortal invitations and registration links are tracked. Actual portal content lives in the connected PMS. We preserve invitation history and registration status; portal configuration is PMS-dependent.
Time Cards
Not in this platformTime Cards are created in the PMS (e.g., linked to billed appointments) and trigger Demandforce thank-you email workflows. We do not migrate time card records as they are PMS accounting objects that have no Demandforce-native equivalent to reconstruct.
