Genuine emergencies need to reach the on-call person immediately, with the caller's name, number, address, and description already in a text message. Routine calls need to be booked directly or captured with enough detail that follow-up is efficient. Spam gets filtered without wasting anyone's time. The onboarding conversation to configure this takes ten to fifteen minutes. It covers the services, service area, on-call schedule, emergency routing, and notification preferences.
