Scaling the number of people being notified is important. Though I have no delusions of grandeur and that will still be a small number relative to many other companies. I do not expect to scale the number of notifications, because they are either about outages, which we minimize, or feature

Well, but presumably you're trying to come up with a scalable solution that dimensions to a lot more than that. Half a dozen of almost anything can be handled manually, but perhaps should not be. -- Alex -- Principal, Evariste Systems LLC (www.evaristesys.com) Sent from my Google Nexus.

We're not a VoIP service provider, but we manage infrastructure for them. We're working on an internal OSS solution to streamline this. On Thu, Jun 01, 2017 at 01:37:12PM -0700, Ryan Delgrosso wrote: > Weve recently starting testing a statuspage internally http://staytus.co/ > and like it

Weve recently starting testing a statuspage internally http://staytus.co/ and like it enough we will probably go live with it customer facing. this allows us to have pre-formatted emails for different event classifications, and the users opt in/out on their own. Its fairly extensible being
