"Critical Alerts" on iOS

This article will walk you through how to enable critical alerts with iOS devices running iOS 12 or higher.

With Pulsara version 10.1 and iOS version 12 or higher, users are now able to enable critical alerts for Pulsara Notifications. With Pulsara’s Critical Alerts feature turned ON, you can enable Do Not Disturb mode on your phone and ONLY Pulsara alerts will play an audible sound.

To enable Critical Alerts for your Pulsara Notifications follow these steps:

1. Login into the Pulsara application and navigate to the side navigation drawer. Tap on "My Call Status."

Note: Enabling Critical Alerts for Pulsara will create alerts that do not honor your device's volume settings. These new alerts will play at full volume much like that of an "Amber Alert." Also, Critical Alerts will only play when the application is in the background. When the Pulsara application is in the foreground, they will play as normal.
