SMS email notifications

Some team members would like to receive email notifications when an SMS comes in.

Is this possible? If yes - how can we set that up? If no - what alternative is there?

    All of these settings might help you... Especially the bottom one as it assures your on screen alert notifications remains in place until you dismiss it. So, if you get a text while out at lunch it will still be on the screen with your alert when you get back to your desk...

    I don't want to be notified for ALL Messages.  I don't really consider that an option.
    I just want to be notified for SMS.

    We are also looking for SMS notifications to email.  But just for Standard users.  A lot of our staff are used to Google Voice where that is a standard feature.

    Seems surprising that this isn’t standard. I had this with my lines on RingCentral

    I get a popup in the lower right corner like other Team IMs which I notice right away... That works like a charm for me. Do you have that setting turned on, or do you find that not adequate for your needs?

     

    You also have the on screen alerts in your interface... 

     

    That's just like the Voicemail alert I'd have...

    +1 to this post. You would feel that this is a standard feature

    This should ABSOLUTELY be a standard feature! What the heck Zoom?!?

    Really old thread, same problem.. We are moving to Zoom phone from another service. We have a number that currently sends only SMS to a Slack message and have found no good way to recreate this functionality so far..

    We don’t keep the app open on the desktops, so we want an email to notify us that there is a new text.
