When every second matters, Alert SMS delivers
Alert SMS is a subcategory of transactional SMS designed specifically for urgent, critical notifications that require guaranteed, near-instant delivery. Unlike regular transactional SMS, alert messages carry the highest priority in our routing system — bypassing standard queues to reach the customer's phone within seconds of being triggered.
Because Alert SMS falls under TRAI's transactional category, it can be delivered to DND-registered numbers 24×7 — making it reliable even for customers who have opted out of promotional communication. The moment your system detects a security event, fraud attempt or critical status change, your customer knows about it.
5 critical scenarios that need Alert SMS
Any time your business needs to urgently reach a customer about something that affects their security, account or wellbeing — Alert SMS is the right tool.
Security Alerts
Notify users the moment an unusual login attempt, new device access or account permission change is detected — giving them time to act before damage is done.
Fraud Alerts
Immediately alert customers of suspicious or unauthorized transactions on their accounts — critical for banks, NBFCs, payment gateways and fintech platforms operating in India.
System Outage Alerts
Proactively notify customers of service disruptions before they reach your support team — reducing inbound support volume and managing customer expectations transparently.
Account Status Alerts
Alert customers to critical changes in their account — password changes, KYC expiry, balance thresholds, subscription lapses — before they impact the customer's ability to use your service.
Emergency Alerts
Broadcast urgent safety or operational alerts to your entire customer or employee base simultaneously — natural disasters, security threats, facility evacuations or emergency closures.
System & IoT Alerts
Automated alerts triggered directly from your monitoring systems, IoT sensors or server infrastructure — machine downtime, temperature thresholds, inventory triggers or API error spikes.
Built for speed, reliability and scale
Our Alert SMS infrastructure is purpose-built for mission-critical delivery — separate priority queues, redundant carrier routes and zero-downtime architecture.
Intelligent Redundant Routing
Every alert SMS is attempted on the primary carrier route first. If delivery fails within 2 seconds, our system automatically retries on a secondary and tertiary route — guaranteeing near-100% delivery even during carrier outages.
Priority Queue Processing
Alert SMS messages skip the standard sending queue and are processed on dedicated high-priority infrastructure — ensuring your critical alerts are never delayed by bulk marketing campaigns running on the same platform.
DND Delivery — 24×7
Alert SMS is classified as transactional under TRAI rules — meaning it reaches DND-registered numbers around the clock. No time restrictions, no delivery blocks, no exceptions.
Real-Time Delivery Webhooks
Receive instant delivery status callbacks — Delivered, Failed, Pending — via webhook to your system. Know within seconds whether your critical alert reached the customer's phone.
Simple REST API
One HTTP POST request to trigger an alert SMS from your application, monitoring system or IoT device. Supports JSON payload with dynamic message variables and batch sending for mass emergency alerts.
Full TRAI & DLT Compliance
Alert SMS is sent via TRAI-registered DLT routes with your approved Sender ID and Template ID — ensuring every critical notification is fully compliant and never blocked for regulatory reasons.
