Mass notifications can be triggered by external systems using the Inbound Notifications features. There are two methods available:

  1. Notification Endpoints: Allows notifications to be triggered by sending CAP 1.2 formatted XML to an HTTPS url.

  2. CAP Feeds: Will poll a URL that contains an RSS feed that conforms to CAP 1.2 specifications. Feeds we are able to integrate should have one of the following:

    • <feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" xmlns:cap="urn:oasis:names:tc:emergency:cap:1.2">

    • <feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" xmlns:georss="http://www.georss.org/georss">
