January 17, 20241 yr Seeing if any of you have something like this for your work. Only reason for this is for employees to inform them of weather events. Not spamming product, but just and only that for people who work here.
January 18, 20241 yr We don't, but have coded to Twilio sending service in past and it was great. A couple ex Twilio employees started a company Textla in 2022 that connect to it so you don't need development support. Has free trial and looks pretty easy to use. All comes down to number of employees you need to reach. A lot of the senders are more mass sales campaign types where the messages might get throttled and not send out quick enough for Weather type alert use.
January 18, 20241 yr We use some type of text alert for everyone where I work. Everyone’s number is in the system, they type out whatever message they want and bam. Fucking amber alert level bs. You want me to find out which one it is?
January 21, 20241 yr I work for an emergency comms company so I am deeply familiar with this world. If you are looking to send to just a handful of folks and only via text, something basic like text-em-all is probably all you really need.
