For Alexa Calling and Zemplee Messaging to work, each Member must have at least one accurate family phone number stored in Zemplee. Caregivers often assist with collecting and updating this information.

From the family member, collect: 

  • Member’s full name 
  • Family member’s full name 
  • Relationship (e.g., daughter, son, niece, friend) 
  • Mobile phone number (including country code) 
  • Email Address (optional)

Confirmation that they have: 

  • The Alexa App installed 
  • Signed in with their Amazon account 
  • Their phone number saved under Zemplee Notifications
