Wake-Up Calls

What Is a Wake-Up Call?

A Wake-Up Call is an automated call to a specific extension that has been pre-scheduled for a specific date and time. Wake up calls are typically used in environments like hotels, healthcare facilities, or customer service centers to send time-based reminders or alerts via phone.

Example: A hotel guest may request a 7:00 AM wake-up call. The system will automatically call their room extension at that time and play a pre-recorded message or ringtone.

    4. Webhook: (optional) Add a webhook link to trigger an external action when the call is placed (e.g., log it, notify another system).


5. Select “Add” in the lower-right corner to schedule the call.


Managing Existing Wake-Up Calls

Notes
Wake-up calls are typically one-time events. If recurring notifications are needed, consider automating them using additional scheduling or API integrations.
