Escalation Contacts, Escalation Plans, Locations & Alarm Response Instructions

How to create an escalation plan

1. Open the Escalation Plans Page

  • Go to Alarm Response Information in the menu.
  • Select Escalation Plans.

2. Create the Plan

  • Click [+] Add.
  • Enter a name and description so you can easily recognise the plan later.

3. Add Escalation Contacts

  • Open the Escalation Contacts dropdown.
  • Select at least three contacts (minimum required).

4. Add Instructions

  • Click [+] Instruction to add your first instruction.
  • For each instruction:
    • Describe the action (e.g., call order, working hours, or any important details for the Alarm Controller).
    • Choose the Action Type: Call, SMS, or Email

      Tip: We recommend mostly using calls for faster responses.

    • Select the Contact (escalation contact, team manager, or location).
    • Choose the phone number to use for that instruction.

Important:
Your plan must provide 24/7 support. Alarm Controllers will use any available contact at any time to protect the user’s safety.

5. Add Notes (Optional)

  • Enter any additional information in the Notes section.

6. Save Your Plan
