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, SMS, or Voice based on the 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.
