# Sending Intake Form Links

Intake form links can be sent to new patients both automatically and manually.

#### Automatic

To automatically send an intake form link when a new patient creates an account, go to your [Settings and Templates](https://help.openacu.net/books/admin-scheduler-help/page/settings-and-templates) page. Under Basics, check the Send Intake box. You can also do this from your [Intake Form Settings](https://help.openacu.net/books/ehr-help/page/intake-form-settings) page. When this box is checked, patients will automatically receive their intake form link:

The Intake section on the Patient Profile page also shows a log of when intake form links were delivered and opened.

Click Go to Form to open the intake form directly from the Patient Profile page.

Once a patient has completed their Intake Form, their answers will appear in the Intake section on their Patient Profile page:
