Interacting with Plerts via Email
One feature not well documented is the ability to interact with Plerts via email. There are currently two instances where this feature can be of use, and we’d like to explain in more detail how it works.
Checking In Via Email
When checking via email, you must use the email address associated with your account otherwise it will be ignored. Just like checking in on the website or through the mobile phone, you have an option to attach a check in message. Sending a blank email checks you in, but does not notify your safety net. Do not to alter the subject line as it includes important information required to check you in.
Responding To An Alert
Released today is the ability for your social safety net to broadcast a response to an alert by replying to the email they receive. Their replies will be sent back to you and amongst your safety net via email, SMS, and push notification to facilitate teamwork, and assures you that your safety net is responding.
