Scenarios — One Button. Every Channel. Seconds.

Scenarios are pre-configured sets of automated actions triggered at the touch of a button. Instead of manually sending individual alerts during a crisis — when you’re least equipped to do so — Scenarios execute a complete, multi-channel communication plan simultaneously, in seconds.

Without Scenarios

10 min+

Manual alerts during a crisis: signal alarm, email parents, email staff, post social media, call police — while under stress, shaky from adrenaline, prone to errors and omissions.

With Scenarios

<10 sec

One button triggers every action simultaneously: role-specific alerts, parent notifications, social media posts, law enforcement call — all pre-scripted, pre-configured, error-free.

Example: School Lockdown Scenario

1
Administrator presses one button — the lockdown Scenario activates
2
Student phones vibrate with a push notification: “Shelter in place immediately”
3
Teacher projectors switch from lesson content to a full-screen desktop alert with room-securing instructions
4
Parents receive email with situation-specific information and next steps
5
Social media posts go live automatically, warning the surrounding community
6
Local police department is called — the pre-configured notification is initiated without anyone dialing
Messages aren’t generic. The message received on a student’s cell phone is different from the message received on a teacher’s cell phone — role-specific instructions, pre-written and pre-approved, delivered instantly to each audience. Scenarios can be configured for any type of business or institution.

Mass Notification for Public Spaces & Venues

Public spaces — malls, airports, schools, event venues — face a unique challenge: reaching every person, including those who can’t hear a PA announcement. Traditional public address systems are limited by audibility and coverage. Stores within a mall may not have PA speakers; people in noisy environments may never hear an alert.

An integrated mass notification system reaches people across every available channel simultaneously — and unlike a PA, it doesn’t depend on someone hearing it. When phones buzz and ring at the same time a visual alert appears on digital signage, far more people are reached, far more reliably.

What a Full Mass Notification System Includes

  • Outbound phone & SMS blast to all contacts
  • Natural voice alert technology
  • Pre-recorded message library
  • Multi-language message delivery
  • PA system integration
  • Digital signage integration
  • Lockdown mechanism coordination
  • Law enforcement interface
  • Authorized personnel broadcast
  • Layered multi-channel delivery
Accessibility built in: For visitors who are Deaf or hard of hearing, a PA-only system fails completely. A mass notification system that simultaneously pushes text messages and activates visual alerts on digital signage ensures every person in your facility receives critical information — regardless of whether they can hear the announcement.
