What This Does
If you use Cliniko or Nookal as your practice management system and run group classes or group appointments, PatientNotes can automatically sync those class diary appointments — including all participants — directly into the Classes feature in your dashboard.
Without this toggle on, group class appointments won't appear in PatientNotes Classes and participants will need to be added manually. With it on, everything syncs automatically so your classes and attendee lists are ready to go.
How to Turn It On or Off
1. Go to your Integrations page
In your PatientNotes dashboard, navigate to patientnotes.app/dashboard/integrations, or click Integrations in the sidebar.
2. Find your Cliniko or Nookal integration
Your connected practice management system will be listed on this page. Click into it to open the integration settings, then scroll down to the Preferences section.
3. Toggle "Sync class participants" on or off
Find the Sync class participants toggle and set it to your preference:
On — class diary appointments are automatically synced from your PMS to the PatientNotes Classes feature, including all participants
Off — class appointments are not synced and will need to be managed manually in PatientNotes (default)
The change takes effect immediately — no need to save or refresh.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this affect my one-on-one appointments?
No — this toggle only applies to class diary appointments in your PMS. Individual appointments are synced separately and are unaffected by this setting.
What happens to participants if I turn this off after it was on?
Turning the toggle off stops future syncing. Classes and participants already synced to PatientNotes will remain, but any new class appointments added in your PMS after that point won't be pulled through automatically.
Does this work for both Cliniko and Nookal?
Yes — the Sync class participants toggle is available for both integrations. The steps are the same regardless of which system you use.
I don't see this toggle — what should I check?
This setting only appears if your Cliniko or Nookal integration is connected. If you haven't set up your integration yet, contact [email protected] for help getting started.
