Understand the Opt-Out List

Not sure why a patient landed on the Opt-Out list in TopsDPX? Let's clear it up.


The following patient responses to reminders and/or confirmation texts will unsubscribe a patient and they will stop receiving communication from your practice:

  • CANCEL
  • STOP
  • UNSUBSCRIBE

If you find that a lot of patients are responding with "Cancel" because they want to cancel their appointment, please include a message in your reminders letting them know that this word will opt them out of future messages!

  • Did a patient opt out by accident? No worries! Have them follow the directions they are given in the text thread. By replying START, they can opt back in to reminders!
  • If the patient has deleted the original text thread, they can still text the word START to your outgoing number to opt back in.
  • If you are not sure what your office's outgoing number is, contact Tops Support at 770.627.2527.
