As far as GitHub, that’s a good idea. But I think I’m going to pass on it (for now) mainly because the linked QuickStart page has all of the code to get a sample VM system running. In the post, I highlighted what code I removed and then added for the VM notification. Actually going through the QuickStart code step by step taught me a lot, so I recommend folks start there. Additionally, they’ll need the code to reflect their own Twilio credentials and phones numbers. Thanks!

The key here is prioritizing so the dentist can respond promptly to the patients who need emergency dental work and other urgent consultations.

If you want them to leave a voicemail, tell them right from the beginning, “Please leave your name, reason your calling, and the best way to contact you.” If you want them to call you back during normal business hours, tell them, “Please call back during normal business hours.” If you want them to call back prepared for a lengthy conversation, you can say something like, “Please refer to our website’s FAQ page,” and then provide the URL. Self-service should never be underestimated.
