Title: SMS notification
Post by: sdf on 11 Nov 2014 09:06:27 PM
Hi,

AM just wondering if Cognos have the feature or can be integrated to have SMS notifications.
Are you familliar with any third-party tool that can accommodate this kind of notifications?
The main agenda is to have sms notification for any data integrity violations.

HI there

There are third party vendors that can do this via an email address such as MessageNet https://www.messagenet.com.au/

Hope this helps because Cognos at this stage doesn't have an SMS messaging service.

Cheers

I am in the US and do not know if this applies elsewhere, but a lot of the major carriers here let you send a text message using phonenumber@carrierspecific.com, e.g. 8005551212@something.com. Here is a partial list I googled and found at http://20somethingfinance.com/how-to-send-text-messages-sms-via-email-for-free/ (http://20somethingfinance.com/how-to-send-text-messages-sms-via-email-for-free/).
