Create a phone message

Use Smokeball's phone message feature to notify a staff member that someone called for them. This feature gives you the option to leave detailed notes and the option to notify the staff member by email.

The phone message will appear in the Daily Digest and mobile app. It also creates a task, allowing them to track the activity.

Phone messages directed towards a staff member will also appear in their Daily Digest.

If the Notify via email option was ticked when creating the phone message on the desktop app, the staff member will receive an email as well.
