The following are sample templates to offer a wide array of messages. The following samples are for general service outages and situations that may require urgent notice, such as a fire or a chemical spill.
Some templates are designed to be shorter than 160 characters so that they will fit in a single SMS (text message). Others are longer to convey more information. For longer SMS messages, Omnilert will send a link to SMS recipients.
As every organization has its own needs, you may find some of these more useful than others. Alternatively, you may simply find inspiration for creating your own templates in Omnilert.
