CAP Messaging

For organization's that have already set up a broadcasting system, myViewBoard Manager supports Outbound CAP Messaging. A simple configuration must be set up, and as a result, messages triggered from a CAP-supported platform will send to the selected Manager devices you configured to receive the message.

List of all supported alert broadcasting platforms

Currently, Manager can support the following systems that use CAP messaging:

• InformaCast
• CrisisGo
• Alertus

Configuring Outbound CAP Endpoints in your dedicated broadcasting system

With your just copied CAP URL, Username, and Password, go to your broadcasting system's console and complete the connection between Manager and your broadcasting system. Generally, this means setting up a new configuration.

Once connection has been established, broadcasts triggered from your existing system will send to assigned devices configured through Manager's CAP Messaging feature.
