How does this app work?
Make sure everyone who’s on-site leaves safely in an emergency by connecting your Everbridge account to Envoy. Envoy sends the names and contact information of your signed-in visitors to Everbridge. In the event of an emergency, you can use Everbridge to mass message any visitors who are on site.
Note: For this app to work, you must collect email addresses or mobile phone numbers at sign-in. Learn more about configuring sign-in fields.
Note: If you do not map an Envoy Visitor type to an Everbridge record type, then the default record type will be set for unmapped visitor types.
