Sending Site Alerts

Got a quick message you need to send everyone on site? With the 1Breadcrumb Site Alert tool, Company and Site Hosts can easily shoot quick messages to everyone checked into the site. 

The Site Alert tool gives you two options to send messages: through SMS  (text messages) or Push Notifications (pop-up messages you get on your phone). However, we do recommend the SMS option, as not everyone always has notifications turned on for their 1Breadcrumb app.

NOTE: Please select whether if you want the message to go to everyone on a specific site, or if you want to send the alert to all sites. If it is just one specific site, make sure to select the site name before accidentally sending to everyone on all jobs! 

This guide will walk you through the steps to make sure your important messages get out to everyone!
