Messaging Service Notifications
The Messaging Service Notifications - for Slack & MS Teams - deliver deliver information based on the Daily Summary Mail.
In addition, notifications can be sent for changes in alert level.
Message content
Messages are sent on a per-vessel basis. There are two message types:
- Interval-based: Messages for target vessels are sent at the specified time interval
- Condition-based: Current alert levels are compared to the previous alert level, and if a change has occurred, a message is sent
