What Each Notification Contains
Every notification gives you the full picture at a glance, whether you’re reading it on your phone or in your inbox.Caller Identity
The caller’s name (if provided) and phone number, so you know exactly who reached out.
Call Summary
A plain-language summary of what the caller wanted — written by Ring Jenny’s AI, not a raw transcript.
Action Taken
What Ring Jenny did: booked an appointment, took a message, transferred the call, or blocked spam.
Time & Duration
The exact time the call came in and how long the conversation lasted.
Transcript & Recording Link
A direct link to the full call transcript and audio recording in your dashboard.
Notification delivery typically occurs within 30 seconds of the call ending. Both SMS and email are sent simultaneously unless you’ve customized your delivery preferences.
Set Up and Customize Notifications
Notifications are turned on by default the moment your Ring Jenny account is active. To adjust your preferences, go to Dashboard > Settings > Notifications.1
Add notification recipients
By default, notifications go to the account owner. Click Add Recipient to include team members, managers, or any other phone number or email address that should receive alerts.
2
Choose your delivery method
For each recipient, choose how they should receive notifications: SMS only, Email only, or Both. Different recipients can have different preferences.
3
Set notification hours
Define the window during which SMS notifications should be sent. For example, restrict SMS to 7am–9pm so your team isn’t woken up by late-night call alerts. Email notifications can run on a separate schedule.
4
Configure urgent call escalation
Mark certain call types as Urgent — for example, calls where the caller mentions an emergency, a complaint, or a specific keyword. Urgent notifications bypass your notification hour restrictions and are delivered immediately, any time of day.
Notification Customization Options
Multiple recipients
Multiple recipients
Add as many recipients as you need. Each person can have their own delivery preferences — one team member might prefer SMS only while another wants both SMS and email.
Notification hours (SMS)
Notification hours (SMS)
Set a start and end time for SMS delivery. Calls outside that window still generate notifications — they’re just held and delivered as email, or queued for the next SMS delivery window, depending on your settings.
Urgent call escalation
Urgent call escalation
Define what makes a call urgent — a keyword, a call type, or a trigger phrase. Urgent calls always notify you immediately, regardless of your notification hour settings. Use this for after-hours emergencies or high-priority callers.
Notification content
Notification content
Choose which fields appear in each notification. Trim it down to just the essentials for SMS, or include the full detail set in email.
Caller Confirmations vs. Your Notifications
These are two separate notification flows. Your notifications go to you and your team. When Ring Jenny books an appointment, the caller automatically receives their own SMS confirmation with the appointment details. These are independent — the caller’s confirmation text does not replace your notification, and your notification is not visible to the caller.
