# Notification Users

> <IUCard title="Notification Users" link="https://inductiveuniversity.com/video/notification-users/7.9" />

Ignition provides the capability to send out alarm notifications to a list of people in Email, SMS, and Phone (voice dial-out). There are several steps to get alarm notifications sent out to a list people. The first thing to do is create an [Alarm Notification Profile](alarming\alarm-notification\notification-profile-types\notification-profile-types.md) for Email, SMS or Voice, whichever method you intend to use. Then, create the users who are going to receive the alarms. Each user must have a name and contact information in order for Ignition to notify them of an impending alarm.  

Let's get started!
