SIGNL4

This bot app connects Microsoft Teams with SIGNL4, a solution to reliable alert and notify operational teams in the field about critical incidents in IT, IoT and industrial systems.

While SIGNL4 delivers critical alerts by default via text, voice and push, this bot allows for using Microsoft Teams as an additional communication channel. As with other alerting channels, users can acknowledge/confirm alerts and take ownership. Alerts can also be annotated and closed. The SIGNL4 bot also allows for managing a user’s duty status. And ultimately, alerts to teams in the field can be send from within Microsoft Teams.

What is SIGNL4?

In case of critical incidents in areas like workers safety, 24/7 IT operations, manufacturing continuity or disaster response, SIGNL4 is your tool for instant mobile alerting.

It is designed to effectively alert and notify incident response teams like firefighters, emergency teams, IT Ops or Security Ops staff, field service technicians and maintenance engineers.

SIGNL4 adds critical mobile alerting to your services and systems in no time. It bridges the ‘last mile’ from IT and IoT systems, machines and sensors to engineers, IT staff and workers ‘in the field’ and accelerates response up to 10x.

SIGNL4 notifies staff on duty through targeted and persistent mobile push, text messages and voice calls with acknowledgement, tracking and escalation.

It provides for convenient on-call duty and shift scheduling to reliably delivers the right information to the right people at the right time – anywhere.

SIGNL4 enables mission-critical systems in IT, IoT, on the shop floor and in hundred other areas to automatically notify the right people when response time matters.

SIGNL4 provides simple and convenient interfaces like email and webhooks to quickly connect systems like IT monitoring, IT service management, IoT devices, SCADA systems, security cameras and more.
