Abstract: An apparatus includes a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor may receive a user generated electronic message. The processor may also send a first electronic message to a designated receiver, where the first electronic message solicits a response from the designated receiver regarding the user generated electronic message. The processor may also send a plurality of subsequent electronic messages to the designated receiver according to a repeat-notification schedule stored in the memory until the response is received, where the plurality of subsequent electronic messages solicit the response. The repeat-notification schedule includes a first elapsed time before sending of a second electronic message occurs and a second elapsed time before sending of a third electronic message occurs, where the second elapsed time is different than the first elapsed time.
