AlertMedia, the world’s leading provider of threat intelligence, emergency communication, and travel risk management solutions, announced a new integration with WhatsApp, further enhancing organizations’ ability to reach and communicate with global employees during emergencies and critical events. Available worldwide, the integration enables organizations to securely send and receive notifications through WhatsApp’s multiplatform messaging service, in conjunction with AlertMedia’s full suite of threat intelligence and emergency communication capabilities. WhatsApp notifications work seamlessly with AlertMedia’s complete catalog of communication channels, allowing companies to respond to emergencies faster from a single interface.
“As organizations become more connected globally, WhatsApp has rapidly become a critical communication channel,” said Christopher Kenessey, CEO at AlertMedia. “By adding WhatsApp notifications, we’re providing customers a trusted, two-way communication solution that works independently from ever-changing international SMS carrier policies, allowing them to expand their global reach and better protect their people and assets worldwide.”
As country-specific regulations and carrier limitations evolve, success rates when using traditional SMS-based communication can vary. With WhatsApp notifications, AlertMedia customers can now augment existing channels and enhance deliverability by sending text-based messages worldwide via any cellular data network or WI-FI connection without setting up complex, country-specific phone numbers.
