Alert in case of urgent mail
How do I alert an on-call team when an urgent e-mail is received?
When an urgent e-mail is sent by a physical person or by an automated system, it may require a rapid response from the decision-making or intervention teams.
However, with conventional messaging systems, there's no guarantee that the arrival of an e-mail will be noticed, especially outside working hours.
It is therefore crucial to set up a system that only alerts on-call personnel during their duty hours, so as not to disturb other team members.
Plan who will be on-call for the e-mail
The Planitel solution enables efficient on-call scheduling.
In addition to automatically transferring calls to on-call personnel, Planitel can be used to program alerts when important e-mails are received.
This feature allows you to send alerts when an urgent e-mail arrives, only to people registered on the on-call schedule, thus avoiding disruption to other team members.
Select important e-mails to activate Mail Alert
With Planitel's e-mail alert, you can define criteria to select important e-mails that require an alert:
- Specific address: Filter emails received on a dedicated emergency address.
- Mail subject: Only take into account mails with a specific keyword in the subject.
- Message content: Detect the presence of a specific code, word or phrase in the email text.
What to do when an important e-mail arrives
Planitel lets you program several types of alerts to inform on-call personnel of the arrival of an important e-mail:
- Immediate forwarding of the e-mail: The e-mail is forwarded directly to the people on call.
- Automatic SMS dispatch: An SMS is generated to notify on-call personnel that an important e-mail has arrived.
- Automatic call: A phone call is automatically triggered with a pre-recorded message.
This last type of alert is particularly effective, as the telephone rings until the person on call answers.
In addition, confirmation of receipt can be requested via a key, such as the star key.
Conclusion Mail Alert
The Planitel tool not only secures the receipt of important e-mails, but also reduces reaction times.
By scheduling on-call duty and programming appropriate alerts, Planitel ensures that the right people are informed quickly, guaranteeing effective and rapid intervention in the event of an emergency.
