Sending a Text Email to a Badge
You can send messages from your email account to a badge user or to a
group. If you send the message to a group, all members of the group
receive the message. Recipients can read these short messages on their
badge displays.
Before you can send email to badges, you need to get the following
information from your system administrator:
• The email address that is dedicated to the Vocera system. All email
messages to Vocera badge users must be addressed to this email
account.
• The login name of the badge user to whom you want to send the
email (this is often the person’s first initial followed by the last
name) or the name of the group. The login name or group name
must be the only text in the subject line of the email.
To send the message:
1.
In your email program, start a new message.
2.
In the
To:
field, enter the email address of the Vocera system.
3.
In the
Subject:
field, enter the login name of the person or group
you want to receive your message.
4.
In the
message area
, type your message.
Be brief, because the
message will be limited to the first 150 characters, or about 20
words. Additional characters will not be displayed.
Note:
When the recipient views the list of text messages, the entry
for an email will show the first thirteen characters of the message.
5.
Send the email message in the usual way.
The Vocera server logs in to the Vocera system email account at regular
intervals (usually every 30 seconds), downloads all the email in the mail-
box, and distributes each message to the badge user or group whose
login name or group name appears on the subject line of the message.
Note:
If you enter an incorrect login or group name on the subject line,
the system administrator may access the message to correct the error
and re-send the message.
