The default setting on your account is to receive call summary notifications to your primary email address, immediately after a call is completed. However, you can receive notifications via SMS (text) instead of, or in addition, to these emails. You can also change the recipients of call summary notifications by caller type.

Do you use Slack to communicate in your office? If so, you're likely always logged in to Slack on one or more of your devices through your browser or one of their desktop or mobile apps. In this "always on" scenario, you might actually prefer to receive your call summaries directly to Slack instead of via email or SMS. Good news: Smith.ai supports this!

At Smith.ai, we're here to help you run a better business by offering the best-quality, lowest-cost live answering service. We charge per call, not per minute, which means you're in control of your costs. Moreover, we make it even easier to cut down your costs by allowing you to instantly adjust who handles your calls — you or us. Want to adjust the number of calls we handle at any given time? It's as easy as changing your phone routing settings with a quick "redirect" text to our receptionists.

We're excited to announce that Smith.ai now integrates with Slack, a widely used, cross-device messaging and collaboration tool. Your Smith.ai receptionists can now send incoming call transfer requests to a designated Slack channel, so no matter which device you're using (computer, tablet, or phone), you never miss an opportunity to take a call.
