Configuring the ideal speech-friendly name
At this moment, we don’t have a test function available to demonstrate how the monitor name sounds in a phone alert message. Therefore, you may need to experiment before finding the best sounding option.
Tip: Changing the language of the phone alert can also help to achieve the best pronunciation. You can change the language for the phone alert in the Phone integration screen (Alerts > Integrations).
