Set a time schedule and auto-start your broadcast! The Scheduled Paging/Intercom feature is a perfect tool for schools, warehouses, and other facilities that require routine notifications set in advance in addition to the real-time paging/intercom. With it, you will be able to:
- Set recurring paging to auto-broadcast your custom prompt or notification at specific times and days of the week. For instance, a school may want to set up a bell schedule for class breaks on every school day.
- Schedule one-time or recurring paging/intercom and let the system call you at the defined date and time, so you can pick up the phone to make a real-time broadcast. You can also set up to autoplay a custom prompt before you start the paging or intercom.
