How do I customize notification methods for a specific alert?

This article will explain how to set up specific notifications for users who receive alerts within the GlacierGrid system.

What Are Customized Alert Notification Methods?

Customized alert notification methods allow you to define how specific alerts are delivered to recipients listed on a specific alert. By default, all alerts are sent to each user through their selected notification method specified in their user profile.

However, with customized alert notification methods, you can override these defaults and choose a different method for specific alerts.

Which Methods Can I Choose?

When customizing alert notification methods, you can choose from a range of available options, including:

• Text Messages
• Push Notifications
• Phone Calls
• Emails
