Be careful when adjust timing for the first option ORDER ACCEPT
(Reference the picture below text to follow the example)

Minutes indicate after how long the action is going to be executed for said status, in this case we have 5 minutes after an order is assigned to a driver and they don't accept it within 5 minutes a
“Send notification via push notification” action will be executed.
After this we can “Send notification via default communication method and Smart Text”
after X amount of minutes again, in this case we have it disabled
If a driver doesn’t accept the order through DriverLogic app, 5 minutes after that a
“Send notification via Smart Call” will go out which will utilize a script on the left hand side saying
“Hello, press one to accept order #{Order Number}, press two to speak with dispatch.”

***KEEP IN MIND I SAID 5 MINUTES AFTER BECAUSE MINUTES IN THE SECTION ON THE RIGHT IN THE PICTURE ARE TOTAL MINUTES PASSED NOT MINUTES FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL ACTION*
And finally if a driver still doesn’t accept said order via the call 4 minutes later the system will execute action “Unassign, pause, and rerun Automated Dispatch” which means the driver will have to message the dispatch team in order to get un-paused and continue running orders.
