Broadcasts

Broadcasts

      The Broadcast feature allows Account Owners or Administrators to send messages to all devices, or distinct users, at any time by typing a message from the Dash console. The message will then be broadcast to all participants via the Relay Assistant. 

Broadcasts can be used to send quick and scheduled alerts or even create repeated scheduled alerts for selected devices on the account.

(Note: Broadcasts may only be created by Account Owners and Administrators. Users in Dash will not be able to create Broadcasts.)
