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](ignition-modules/alarm-notification/alarm-notification.md) for [Email](ignition-modules/alarm-notification/notification-profile-types/email-notification-profile/email-alarm-acknowledgement.md), [SMS](ignition-modules/alarm-notification/notification-profile-types/sms-notification-profile/sms-notification-profile.md) or [Voice](ignition-modules/alarm-notification/notification-profile-types/voice-notification-profile/voice-notification-profile.md), 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.
