1. The app is installed on the device.
2. It is possible to receive notifications of emergency calls via Zoom Chat, and to send alerts from this Zoom Chat channel.
3. In order to manage Zoom Rooms and Zoom Phones, you need to create a role with edit permissions, and assign this role to members of the channel.

   Creates a channel in which members can be added to it.
4. As soon as a member of a channel is added, they are able to:

   • Send alerts and receive notifications when a person makes an emergency call by using the channel.

Installing from Zoom Marketplace

1. In order to access the Zoom Marketplace, you will need to log in to your Zoom administrator account.
2. Upon arrival at the page where the Emergency Call Notification app needs to be installed, click Add.
3. Click the Authorize button after reviewing the permissions that have been requested.
   Having installed the Emergency Call Notification chatbot on the Zoom client, you will be able to access it from the Apps tab under the Zoom account and you will be able to send an emergency call.

Setting up Emergency Call Notifications and the channel

In order to meet your company’s safety policy and procedure needs, the app provides flexibility when setting up emergency call notifications according to your company’s safety policy and procedure. There is a configuration option that allows you to choose how many sites and emergency numbers the channel monitors for emergency call notifications.

Example:
911 is the number to call in case of an emergency in the United States. If you make emergency calls through Zoom, you can also use 933 as an emergency services test number if Zoom is your carrier. Our recommendation would be to make sure you configure both of these emergency numbers in such a scenario.

The same configuration can also be used to send notifications to multiple channels at the same time (site and emergency number combination).

In order to set up a channel, repeat the setup procedure as many times as necessary.

1. In order to receive emergency call notifications, you will need to go into Zoom client and select the channel you wish to receive the notifications.
2. Open the configuration window by entering the command /emergencycall setup.
3. Choose the location and the emergency number for the site.
4. The changes should be saved after they have been made.

Editing and deleting configurations

1. You can update the channel by logging into the Zoom client and selecting the channel you wish to update.
2. The configurations of the channel can be viewed by entering the command /emergency call configure. When you enter /emergency all configure all, you will be able to see all configurations.
3. As needed, you can edit or delete the item.

Disconnecting a configuration for a Channel

1. If you want to update a Zoom channel, log in to the Zoom client and navigate to the channel you want to update.
2. In order to disconnect the emergency call channel from its current configuration, you need to enter the command /emergencycall disconnect. By typing disconnect all, you will be able to disconnect from all configurations at once.

Chat Commands (for Admins)

For the purpose of maintaining configurations in a channel, there are a number of chat commands that can be used. Enter help into the app’s chat field in order to display a list of the available chat commands for the chatbot that can be used. It is recommended that you use /emergencycall [command] when running these commands in the channel.
