Urgent SMS alerts when it can't wait for email.
Storms, power cuts, sick instructors and burst pipes don't give much warning. When plans change at short notice, a bulk text reaches people on their phones before they set off, which an email or social post often won't.
When to send an urgent text
- Weather cancellations and closures
- Power, water or internet outages affecting appointments
- Last-minute venue or time changes
- Staff illness cancellations
- Safety notices

Lead with what's changed, then when, then what to do. "CANCELLED: Sat 9am class. Rebook: [link]" says it all.
Be ready before you need it
Keep your contacts tagged by location, class or team so you can reach exactly the right people in a hurry.
Urgent SMS alerts questions.
How fast are bulk texts delivered?
Bulk SMS is sent straight away to every selected contact.
Do urgent notices need an opt-out?
Opt-outs are required for marketing; for service notices they're still good practice.
Can I target just one location?
Yes. Send to a tag such as a branch or class.
