Packet

A Packet bundles multiple Forms into one reusable set that's sent to a Patient together, for example, a "new patient intake" packet made up of a demographics form, a consent form, and a medical history form. A Packet belongs to one Team.

Read-only via API

Like Forms, Packets are authored in the Zentake dashboard. The API exposes list and retrieve only.

Lifecycle

  1. A team groups existing Forms into a Packet in the dashboard, in the order they should be presented.
  2. Sending the Packet (via a Message) to a Patient creates one Packet Response.
  3. As the patient works through each Form in the packet, each one becomes its own Response, grouped under that Packet Response.
  4. The Packet Response is considered complete once every Form in the Packet has been submitted.
