Workflow for company notifications

[esealpha]

I am trying to come up with a workflow that will allow us to distribute company-wide announcements in the event of an emergency.

One person will do...something. Fill out a form, send an email etc. which will trigger a workflow.

This email or form or whatever will have some text that states "Due to inclement weather, Branch ABC and Company XYZ will be closed on Monday, March 13."

Then the workflow will set Sakari (or similar) to send a text message to all employees.

I feel like this SHOULD be easy, but I'm having a VERY hard time piecing it together.

Hi @esealpha ,

Happy to help you!

You can trigger your workflow on the basis the property which stores this information : Due to inclement weather, Branch ABC and Company XYZ will be closed on Monday, March 13
And then in actions add your message details.

Please let me know if you are tryiong to achieve something else

Thank you!
