What is the best way to set up the system to:
1. Alert employees that the office will be closed or closing/opening at a certain time
2. Alert outside callers that the office is closed or will be closing/opening at a certain time
We had adjusted our hours for the holidays and I set up a condition system in VMPro, but that need to be done beforehand on the server and dates/times would trigger appropriate forwarding, etc. One idea we had was to set up an extension for employees to call into to see if there was a message from a boss confirming the office is closed (the boss would call in first to change the voicemail message). For the outside callers, we would have to simply add the recording to the menu setup in VMPro preceding the main menu recording, but again, that must be done on the server beforehand. We can't predict weather and may need to adjust hours and/or close before working hours, so I was hoping this could be done by phone somehow? Any suggestions on how this can be done?
