Within the US, over 700,000 companies use Microsoft 365 which includes Teams as part of its suite of products.

By adding the ability to connect via Microsoft Teams in addition to text, voice, and email, RedFlag provides companies an even greater ability to disrupt and ensure the message reaches the intended recipient. Messages sent via RedFlag to Teams are delivered as both a desktop and mobile push notification to their Teams app, no matter their location or device. Leveraging Teams offers the functionality of sending to the other main channels, whether it is a message with links or attachments, adding a conference number to join a call, or an action-based message requiring a response. This is a powerful additional channel to help when time matters, and RedFlag is the only system to send mass notifications via Teams.

“It is important to communicate to employees the way they consume information. The Teams integration allows us to reach our employees in an additional way,” said Will Gott, Human Resource Manager at Wood-Mizer. “We have some employees that only communicate via Teams, so this ensures our messaging is heard.” 

As a Microsoft Silver Partner, The Teams integration deepens RedFlag’s existing Microsoft Integration, ensuring Microsoft users can communicate quickly and securely with an ease of setup and integration not available in other platforms.

• Enjoy Single Sign On for ease of use and security
• Quickly send multi-channel messages right within Outlook via the add-in
