Is there a way to send emails or text messages to notify users from EB?

[JoseSanchez]

Good morning,

After I select one or several points in EB is there a way to send a mail, email, text message other type of notification to the selected points.  Each point represents a customer and has information related to the customer such as: mailing address, email, phone number. 

Thanks

Hello Jose, are you editing the points or just selecting the point?

[JoseSanchez]

Hello @abdhassa ,

The use can do both, and the ones who are sending these notifications will be also editors of the layer.

Thanks

@JoseSanchez, are features being updated/added?  Could explain your workflow a bit more?

One of the options that comes to mind immediately is exploring connectors with either Microsoft Power Automate (PA) or Integromat.  What you will need to do is have an app like PA "sniff" for changes/additions to the particular feature layer.  From here you would need to also connect to an email account that would generate the email and send it based on those names/addresses etc.

@MeganEngel   feature will be updated, not added. Let's say that there is a pipe break and you want to notify all the customers in a radius of 1 mile around the incident.

1st scenario: get a selection of points and send a notification?

2nd scenario: select points and modify one of the attributes (edit) , and send a notification.

How do I transfer a selection of point to Power Automate? Export selection to csv?

Thanks

Both the Near Me and Query Widgets have options to search by location and the results can be downloaded to a csv. From there, the csv could be imported into a program that creates some sort of contact list from a csv.

You could use the Map Viewer to create a custom popup template with a mailto link. Your end user could click a point on the map, click a link in the popup and then hit send on a pre-written email. See more about how to make a mailto link below.

Thank you  @JeffreyThompson2 , this is more a solution for managers who want to notify a group of customers, or a group of employees of some incident.
