For Users

Twenty47 allows simple input of basic dispatch information. This data is then pushed to email or SMS subscribers. For most users, there are 2 forms available.

The Dispatch Create form

The use of Dispatch Create should be self-explanatory. Upon submission, Dispatch Create sends a notification to all subscribers.

The Subscriber form

This form is also self-explanatory. What happens after pressing “Save” does, however; require more explanation. Also before selecting “SMS Phone”, make certain you have a phone capable of receiving SMS text messages and you are aware of any fees your service provider might charge.

Effects of Subscriber form

All subscribers must be approved before they are allowed to receive notifications. Once you submit your subscription request, a Subscription Manager receives an email notification of your request. The Subscription Manager must then approve your request. Once your request is approved, you will receive confirmation notices for your email or your SMS phone.

Email Confirmation

Once a Subscription Manager approves your request, you will received an email requiring you to confirm your request. This will come from Dispatch using Email <no-reply@sns.amazonaws.com>. Click the included link to complete your subscription.
