  • 1.  Emergency Notification System

    Posted 11-25-2024 16:10

    Hello,

    We have a request for information as to whether it is possible to use 8x8 as some sort of emergency notification system.  We have about 1000 people, which management would like to be able to communicate with on an emergency bases.

    I believe they are interested in some sort of automated calling and/or text messaging system in the event of an emergency such as unexpected building closures, weather delays/closures etc. 

    Has anyone done something like this with 8x8? Any tips, thoughts, suggestions would be much appreciated.

    Thanks!

    Thank you for the offer, but that is not necessary.  We decided to look outside of 8x8.
