  1. Have each TEAM MEMBER configure their user notifications accordingly so they can be immediately alerted through their preferred choice via phone.
  2. Place the entire team on a schedule called TEAM NAME, adding TEAM MEMBERS and designating shifts amongst them.
  3. Lastly, add the schedule to an escalation policy called TEAM NAME to complete the notification setup. You can optionally place a manager as an added escalation point in case requests are not acted upon by TEAM MEMBERS within a reasonable amount of time.
