You can send messages from your email account to a user or to a group. 
If you send the message to a group, all members of the group receive 
the message. Recipients can read these short messages on their badge 
displays. 

Before you can send email to badges, you need to get the following 
information from your system administrator:

• The email address that is dedicated to the Vocera system. All email 

messages to Vocera badge users must be addressed to this email 
account.

• The login name of the user to whom you want to send the email 

(this is often the person’s first initial followed by the last name) or 
the name of the group. The login name or group name must be the 
only text in the subject line of the email.

In your email program, start a new message.

In the To: field, enter the email address of the Vocera system.

In the Subject: field, enter the login name of the person or group 
you want to receive your message.

In the message area, type your message.

 

Be brief, because the 

message will be limited to the first 150 characters, or about 20 
words. Additional characters will not be displayed.

Note:  When the recipient views the list of text messages, the entry 
for an email will show the first thirteen characters of the message.

Send the email message in the usual way.

The Vocera server logs in to the Vocera system email account at regular 
intervals (usually every 30 seconds), downloads all the email in the mail-
box, and distributes each message to the user or group whose login 
name or group name appears on the subject line of the message.
