Activate an Emergency Message by SMS
It is possible to activate an emergency message without logging into Broadsign Publish by sending an SMS. This feature enables scenarios where, for example, a security guard can promptly trigger an emergency message from their mobile device in the event of an emergency.
Warning: Standard carrier fees may apply depending on your region or contract.
To activate an emergency message via SMS, the following requirements must be met:
- The emergency message should be prepared in advance, as described in Prepare an Emergency Message.
- During the preparation of the emergency message in the Confirm page of the Message Creation Wizard, an activation code must be set. See Step 4 – Review and Confirm the Message.
- The user's mobile number must be defined in the user settings, as described in Add a New Application User.
- The user must have the Can activate an emergency message permission. For more information, see Users and Groups Permissions.
- The user must be aware of the designated number to text the activation code, which is +1 (647) 371-0911 (all regions), or +61 489 075 112 (Australia).
