What are Voicemail Reminders?
A Voicemail Reminder is a persistent notification that alerts users by email when there is a new voicemail message. This critical feature can be a great asset in time-sensitive or otherwise urgent situations.
Whether it be an elderly resident slipping and falling in a retirement facility, a renter's sink flooding in an apartment building, or a business' server going down, a persistent reminder of a voicemail message can help ensure a rapid response in any potentially serious situation.
Users will be reminded at a configured interval until the voicemail message is saved or moved to trash. Only these actions strip the message of its new status.
WARNING: Be careful when setting these reminders as they will continue indefinitely until the message is moved to the Saved or Trash folders of your voicemailbox.
