To configure an action in Room Alert Manager, please follow these steps:

  1. Open Room Alert Manager in your web browser.
  2. In order to edit actions in Room Alert Manager, you must log in as an admin-level or manager-level user.
  3. Select Actions in the navigation bar to the left of the screen.
  4. The Notification Groups page will open by default. This is the action type we’ll configure in our example.
  5. Then select the Create a New Notification Group button.
  6. Give your Notification Group a unique name.
    • The default name is “New Notification Group 1” but we’ve renamed ours “Notify IT Team.”
  7. Next, set up your first recipient.
    • In Choose recipient type, we’ve selected Room Alert Manager user.
    • Additional fields will populate according to your choice.
    • In Choose a user, we’ve selected our user IT Mgr.
    • In Choose a delivery method, we’ve selected In-app Notification.
  8. Select the +Add another recipient button to create a multi-line action.
    You may add as many different notifications to your action as you’d like.
    • We have a total of 4 recipients in our multi-line action.

When an alert triggers, all recipients in your multi-line action will be notified at the same time. If you wish to notify some recipients at different times, you must create a separate action for them.

  1. Select Save Changes to save your action.
  2. You’ll return to the main Notification Groups list, where you can view your group’s details:
    • In the list view, you’ll see how many alerts this action is currently associated with. In our example above, the action is Not Used.
    • The image below shows what it would look like if the action was used in 2 alerts:
    • Select the 3 dots to edit or delete the action. (An action cannot be deleted if it is currently associated with an alert.)
  3. Once your action is configured, you may associate it with any alert. Please see our FAQ, How To Create Alerts In Room Alert Manager.

In order to send email or email-to-SMS notifications, you must configure mail server settings in Room Alert Manager. For instructions, please see our FAQ, How To Set Up Email In Room Alert Manager.
