How are emergency calls prioritized in my notifications?

Urgent calls are labeled as emergencies in the SMS and email summaries Ava sends you after every call, so they stand out from routine bookings at a glance. You don't have to read every summary to find the one that can't wait — emergency call priority alerts put the urgent ones at the top of your attention.

How emergency call priority alerts work

Every call Ava answers produces an instant summary to you: name, callback number, address, and what the caller needs. When a call hits your emergency criteria — a car trapped in the garage, a broken spring with the door stuck open, anything you marked as urgent during setup — the summary is flagged as an emergency.

That flag is what separates "read this now" from "read this over coffee." A routine booking for Thursday morning and a trapped-car call look different the moment you glance at your phone.

You set what qualifies. Some shops flag only true can't-move emergencies. Others flag anything same-day. The rules are yours, and you can adjust them as you see how the alerts feel in practice.

What this means for your shop

When you're under a door or driving between jobs, you triage your phone the same way you triage work: what needs me this minute, and what can wait an hour?

Emergency call priority alerts make that a two-second decision instead of a five-minute voicemail session. The urgent ones get a callback or a dispatched tech right away. The routine ones are already booked and can sit until you check in.

It's one piece of a bigger flow — from first ring to truck rolling — covered in the emergency dispatch workflow.
