Does browser need to be running on my computer in order for the SMS / text alerts to be sent?

cloudHQ operates entirely in the background, so your browser does not need to be open on your computer for mobile text alerts to be delivered. Once configured, cloudHQ’s background services, including SMS notifications, function independently of your browser. As a result, you can receive mobile text (SMS) alerts even if your browser or computer is turned off.

Does browser or computer needs to be running to send the mobile text alerts?

cloudHQ works fully in the background, so you do not need to keep your browser open on your computer to get mobile text alerts. After you set up cloudHQ’s background services, including SMS alerts, they run on their own. You will still get SMS alerts even if your browser or computer is turned off.

It is possible to setup text alerts to be sent to multiple phone number?

Yes, this is possible. Each cloudHQ user can have only one mobile phone number. But you can create a team where team admin can control multiple inboxes and phone number. Therefore, to send alerts to multiple phone numbers, you need to add a separate cloudHQ user for each phone number and then configure the alert rules.

  1. Add users to your cloudHQ team through the cloudHQ app or by sending email invitations. Each user must register and verify their mobile phone number using a verification code.
  2. Open the Mobile Text Alerts for Gmail dashboard to manage alert settings and review sent text messages. As an administrator, you can create and manage alert rules for all team members.
  3. Create an alert rule for each user and phone number. You can choose which Gmail account or inbox should be monitored for each rule.

When users are added to your team, alerts from any connected Gmail inbox can be sent to any verified team member’s phone number.

For example, suppose the cloudHQ user support@company.com adds bob@company.com to the team, and Bob verifies the phone number +1 555 555 1001. You can configure an alert so that Bob receives text notifications about emails arriving in the support@company.com inbox.

You can also use this setup if you do not have a team but want alerts sent to multiple personal phone numbers.

For example, suppose you use myname@gmail.com and have two phone numbers:

  • +1 555 555 1001
  • +1 555 555 1002

Create a free Gmail account, such as myname.for_2nd_phone_number@gmail.com, and use it to create a second cloudHQ account. Associate your second phone number, +1 555 555 1002, with that account.

Then, sign in to cloudHQ using your primary account, myname@gmail.com, and invite myname.for_2nd_phone_number@gmail.com to your team.

Your setup will allow:

  • Alerts based on emails received by myname@gmail.com to be sent to either +1 555 555 1001 or +1 555 555 1002.
  • Alerts based on emails received by myname.for_2nd_phone_number@gmail.com to be sent to either +1 555 555 1001 or +1 555 555 1002.

Can I send a text from the same email to multiple phone numbers?

I can receive test messages, and my setup looks correct, but some messages are not delivered. How can I fix this?

If so, email us at support@cloudhq.net with examples of which messages are delivered and which are not, and we will update our redaction algorithm to remove the offending keywords.

  2. Open the Mobile Text Alerts for Gmail dashboard to manage alert settings and review sent text messages.
  3. For each rule, choose which Gmail account to monitor.

For example, if the cloudHQ user support@company.com adds info@company.com to the team, you can set an alert so that support@company.com gets text notifications about emails that arrive in the info@company.com inbox.

To set this up, follow these steps:

  • Set up the cloudHQ account support@company.com and verify its phone number.
  • Invite the user info@company.com to your team. Ask info@company.com to authorize their Gmail account.
  • When creating rules, choose whether to get alerts based on the support@company.com or info@company.com account.

If both Gmail accounts are owner as you then follow these steps:

  • Login into cloudHQ with your primary account
  • Open the Mobile Text Alerts for Gmail dashboard: https://www.cloudhq.net/main_gmail_smsnotif/setup
  • Invite your second Gmail account to your team
  • Open your browser in incognito mode and sign into Gmail as the second account.
