Send an Emergency Alert from Agoo Workspace

Tell everyone at a site to get out, then follow the roll call on your phone.

  • Plans: Starter and up

  1. Open Desk › Safety and tap Emergency alert.
  2. Choose the site and the message people will read.
  3. Press and hold Hold to send the alert until it sends. To practise, tap Start a drill instead.
  4. Follow the roll call: mark people Safe or Missing as you find them.
  5. When everyone is accounted for, tap End the roll call (or End the drill).

Good to Know

  • Owners, Admins, Site admins and Security leads can always send one. Receptionists and guards can unless your organisation has turned that off.
  • Staff with the app get a notification that breaks through Focus, with I'm safe.
  • The on-site list is kept on the phone, so it's there in a power or network cut. Marks are sent when you're back online.
  • A drill works the same way, and the record says drill.

If Something Goes Wrong

  • The alert won't send. Sending needs a connection. Find a signal, and use the on-site list in the meantime.
  • Safety says it's not on your plan. Emergency alerts and roll call come with Starter and above. Safety still shows who's on site.
