Organisation settings - SMS settings
With the SMS settings, you have the option of defining a format for the alarm via SMS. You can choose whether the SMS should contain the Event name + Alarm text or just the Alarm text. As SMS messages can have a maximum length of 160 characters for technical reasons, several SMS messages are automatically sent for longer texts. As this is associated with higher costs, you also have the option of truncating the text at 160 characters for both formats.
❗️ If you allow GroupAlarm to limit the SMS to 160 characters, information will be lost for longer texts.
You can also specify the validity period of SMS messages. This can be helpful if there are disruptions when receiving SMS messages. The provider then discards the SMS after the specified period of time. This can prevent old SMS messages from being delivered retrospectively and triggering delayed alarms for the participants.
