2. The Simpsons Share a Funny Answering Greeting. If you’re looking for a short and simple message, we suggest turning to Homer Simpson as he tells callers to… leave a message.
A relatively unprofessional one — like mine, for instance — does the opposite: It encourages prospects, recruiters, and potential connections to run in the other direction.

Of course, we want to know as soon as an incoming voicemail is saved, so again, it’s Twilio to the rescue. By adding a few lines of code to our Python script, Stacey and I each get an SMS notification telling us there’s a new message. Note that Twilio’s API requires a separate call for each message to be sent, which is why the similar code repeats once for Stacey’s phone number and then again for mine. If you plan to send bulk messages from Twilio, I expect that you can build a list of phone numbers and loop through them with the API call. Since we only have two contact numbers and don’t expect to add any more, I decided not to loop through a list of two elements.
By asking for information such as full patient name, date of birth, and phone number, you can increase your chances of being able to successfully return a call, even if the message is difficult to decipher.
