Send Targeted Messages by Location Using Geofencing
Whispir Maps module allows organisations to easily locate and communicate with their audience using geofencing to target communications based on their location.
How Whispir Maps module works
Visually display and target all in-platform information including contacts, users, distribution lists and regions. Combine with other external data sources such as social media, RSS, Geo-RSS and XML for a truly unified, location-based messaging solution.
Easily define your geofence regions
Whispir uses a standard-based Open Layers mapping solution with Google Maps tiles to allow message authors to define the target area for a message. Build distribution lists by drawing polygons over map locations and store the selection to save time for future messaging.
Maps powerful features allow you to:
- View the location of key stakeholders based on their GPS location.
- Use a location to target communications. Simply locate people within a nominated area and send them a message.
- Identify towns, localities or key infrastructure based on geographic data.
- Contact members of Distribution Lists with fixed locations.
- Define a map with a geofence (circle or polygon).
- Locate an address, pan and zoom the map.
- View and update sent messages.
Maps module features
Maps communications dashboard
Search for contacts on a map interface and show results by GPS location or stored data.
Geospatial targeting
Send a message to all recipients located within a defined area. Simply drag the mouse over the map to select an area to search or find stakeholders to communicate with.
Geofence tagging
Tag an area on a map with specific data or information. Colour code options provide easy identification.
Geofence grouping
Group multiple related map areas. Geofences can be grouped under a single searchable name, which can then be tagged with attributes to enable tracking by severity.
