Sending AlertFind Notifications to Broadcast Groups

Overview

AlertFind Broadcast Groups allow you to simultaneously notify every member of the group. Broadcast Groups can contain other Broadcast Groups and Smart Groups, but not Escalation Groups.


Prerequisites


Solution

NOTE
If a notification does not require a response, AlertFind notifies the first device in each user’s personal escalation and considers the notification complete when it has been sent to this device.

For all notifications that require a response, AlertFind continues to notify members according to their personal escalation currently in effect, until the notification’s response is complete or is canceled.
