    Default Can I get audible alerts for new orders?

    I make pizza order web-pages. I want to follow orders from the admin order page. And I want to get print orders to invoice page. But I need warning ringing tone, when the new order came.

    Important for me.

    Thanks.

    There's a plugin for SMS on New Orders, which might be something you could leverage for your unique needs.

    You could also set up your mail client to ring a bell when a new order email comes to [email protected]

    Alternatively you could probably set up a script on your local machine which checks the db on the server every x seconds and goes bing every time there is a new order.

    Is your server located locally? If it is, then I would guess you could add a ding to one of the pages which works on the order confirmation.

    The Thunderbird email client will allow you to set audio announcements for particular accounts and will also allow you to automatically print messages (orders) from any given account.

    I am using thunderbird. Even it is possible to print automatically when the new orders come whit thunderbird. But, for a long time I am doing websites to pizzerias with zen cart. My experiences, follow orders from admin panel better than thunderbird or outlook.

    I do not understand, why is it so difficult to do voice alerts when in the new order comes.
