🚀 Your Hippo Onboarding: What You Need to Do

This page explains exactly what you need to do to get started


🔐 Step 1 - Create an EMIS login for Hippo

This login allows us to:

  • Configure your Recaller correctly

  • Integrate with EMIS

  • Support you long-term

  • Troubleshoot quickly if anything comes up


✅ Step 2 - Share your key details

Please complete our setup form. This will be sent to you by our Sales Team once your contract has been signed.

We’ll ask for:

  • Main practice contact

  • EMIS CDB + ODS numbers

  • The EMIS user log in details that you created for us

  • A list of your Hippo users

This ensures we configure Hippo correctly from day one.


📢 (Recommended) Step 3 - Tell Your Patients About Hippo

Before your first campaigns go out, we recommend letting patients know they may soon receive booking invitations from Hippo Labs. This helps them recognise the messages and reduces confusion.

We have created some resources you can share, as well as some best practice guidance on how to prepare your patients for automated recalls:


📄 (Optional) Step 4 - Read our Help Articles

Our Help Centre is full of FAQs, process guidelines, and key information about how we work at Hippo. You can review our documents anytime to support your internal processes.

Here are some good places to start:

What Happens Next

Once you have completed Steps 1 and 2, Hippo handles the technical setup.

We’ll activate your integrations, prepare your environment, run tests, and get everything ready for launch. This normally takes around 2 weeks.

Once we've completed the set up, you will get an email from us asking you to set a password for your account.

We will also contact you to book your Hippo Setup Session.


💻 Your Hippo Setup Session

When technical setup is complete and you have accessed your Hippo account, we’ll meet with your team to:

  • Walk you through the platform

  • Set up your first recall campaigns

  • Answer any questions

By the end of this session, you’ll be fully ready to go live.


🌱 After You Go Live

Your Customer Success Manager will stay closely in touch to ensure:

  • Campaigns are running smoothly

  • Data looks correct

  • Staff feel confident

  • You’re getting the most out of Hippo

We’re here to support you long-term.
