KnightShift Alert Notifications

When something important happens, your people should know – fast. KnightShift Alert Notifications lets you broadcast time-sensitive updates to email inboxes and mobile phones using cloud, enterprise-grade messaging services, without you having to build or maintain the underlying cloud infrastructure.

What we deliver

  • Design of your alerting strategy – who gets notified, for what, and on which channels.
  • Configuration of templates, recipients and content for email and SMS delivery.
  • Email and SMS templates for incidents, maintenance, and business-wide announcements.
  • Integration with your monitoring tools, ticketing system, or existing workflows where possible.
  • Playbooks for IT incidents, outages, and urgent operational updates.
  • Optional emergency / evacuation notification workflows (to complement, not replace, life-safety systems).
  • Governance around who can trigger alerts, approval flows and audit logging.
  • Testing, documentation and handover so your team can confidently run and evolve the service.

Do I need to have an account with a 3rd party provider?
Typically yes – alerts are delivered via our organisation's platform, we share permissions with you to allow you to utilise it for your organisation.
Can this replace our fire alarm or regulated life-safety systems?
No. KnightShift Alert Notifications are designed to complement your legally required life-safety systems, not replace them. It’s ideal for staff notifications, status updates and secondary evacuation communication alongside your existing procedures.
Can you manage the service ongoing?
Yes – we can hand it over to your team, or include alert management and changes as part of a wider KnightShift managed service.
