Envoy vs. AlertMedia
Alert everyone on site, not just employees
AlertMedia sends to a contact list. Envoy sends to the people actually on site right now, including the visitors and contractors who aren't on payroll.
Envoy Response vs. AlertMedia, side by side
Both can send a mass alert. Only one is built on the real-time presence data of every person, employee, visitor, and contractor, who's actually in your building.
Envoy knows who’s in the building
AlertMedia sends to a contact list. Envoy sends to the people actually on site, pulled live from visitor sign-ins and real-time employee attendance data. Safety is consolidated into the platform you already run, with visitor sign-ins, workplace operations, alerts, roll call, and digital signage all connected.
Multi-channel reach in seconds
Send alerts across SMS, email, Slack, Teams, and push notification in seconds, not minutes. Select from alert templates so your team can move fast when it matters.
Know who's safe, and who needs help, in real time
Quick check-in prompts let employees and visitors mark themselves safe with one tap. See the rollup live, see who's accounted for, and log every response automatically for compliance.
That same visibility now extends past the building: remote employees synced via HRIS, and proactive alerts when executives are near a flagged threat.
One united platform for workplace safety
Envoy Response combines proactive threat intelligence with incident management as the action layer on a threat dashboard — one pane of glass where you monitor, notify, take roll call, and log the response.AlertMedia sends the alert.
Envoy handles the whole incident: visitor screening, sign-in tracking, alerts, roll call, and audit logs.

Envoy centralizes how I can send emergency notifications to everyone that we have onsite in our multiple locations. Visitors wouldn't be in any other system. So, in the event of an emergency, I'd rely on Envoy to alert everyone of critical information.”
