New client registration, first appointments and Neo records

Read about how client registration and first appointment information syncs from the Vello client portal to applicable Neo records.

If a person is not a client of your practice, they can use the Vello client portal to complete registration and make their first appointment. After the new client completes registration and makes the appointment, they can use the client portal to:
  • Get access to appointment information for their first appointment
  • Know about medical care for their pets
  • Add pets
  • Change pet photos
  • Make subsequent appointments

Registration for new clients and Neo records

A new client's registration information syncs to Neo. As a result, it is not necessary for staff to make the applicable records directly in Neo.

This table shows the registration information that a new client enters in the client portal, and where the information syncs to in Neo:

  • Name
  • Address
  • Mobile phone number
  • Email address
Note: If a client starts to enter address information in the Address box, Vello automatically shows available addresses that the client can select. To enter their address manually, they can select Enter manually.

Appointments for new clients and Neo records

After a new client enters registration information, they can use the Vello client portal to:
  • Make their first appointment with your practice
  • Enter the name and phone number of a previous practice
  • Upload their pet's clinical records directly

This table shows the information that a new client enters when they make their first appointment, and where the information syncs to in Neo:

When a new client makes their first appointment during client registration, the Requests & Notifications screen in Vello shows an entry for the appointment. And the screen shows New in the Patient column for the appointment.
