Using SMS Alerts in the WebPAC
Innovative offers another product to send notices using mobile phone text messages. See Using Sierra SMS for more information.
Using the SMS Alerts product, your organization can offer patrons the ability to receive library notices using SMS (Short Message Service), in addition to normal notices. SMS Alerts are intended as a supplemental notification for existing notification methods (phone, email, regular mail). SMS alerts do not replace the existing notification options.
Library patrons are "opted out" of SMS alerts by default and must enable this service through the patron record.
