Text messages provide a succinct messaging channel for appropriately brief, time-sensitive content. GovDelivery Direct SMS serves the growing population of wireless device users, allowing agencies to reach individuals with urgent, real-time information, directly to their mobile devices.

Direct SMS sends can be initiated in one of two ways:

1. Direct SMS alerts can be sent automatically when website content is updated.
2. A Direct SMS alert can also be created manually within GovDelivery when necessary, such as for Amber Alerts, weather emergencies and other critical situations.

Text messages provide a succinct messaging channel for appropriately brief, time-sensitive content. Agencies choose when and what messages are sent through Direct SMS so transactional fees can be managed. Critical information gets to stakeholders via mobile devices, when appropriate. Direct text messages can be automated based on an agency's website content or manually created alerts of critical information.
