Frequently Asked Questions2022-01-14T10:09:35+08:00
Why can’t I just use the notification recipient in the respective cloud providers?2022-09-06T16:14:42+08:00
  1. They are not consolidated in a central system. So, if you have a multi-cloud approach, you need to manage the recipients (repeated) in different cloud providers. 
  2. There is no roster for you to choose who to send to for day/time selection. 
  3. They only send SMS and depends on another provider. SendQuick Cloud is the provider and support more than SMS, like messengers.
  4. If the messages not sent, you need to troubleshoot from cloud provider and service providers. It is not going to be easy to navigate these companies to solve them. 
  5. There are no rules in filtering the messages, unlike SendQuick Cloud. 
  6. SendQuick Cloud can perform Ping, Port and URL check to provide another layer of checking your cloud instance and services.
How do we configure the recipient phone number?2021-08-11T19:14:06+08:00

Once you subscribe to a plan, you will be given the number of user account that correspond to the number of users and checks respectively. Example, if you subscribe for 5 users, you can create up to 5 checks and up to 5 unique users to receive messages. You can configure each user with their own phone numbers.

I am interested to receive messages via social messenger. What is the procedure?2021-08-11T19:13:12+08:00

We have to play by the rules set by the social messenger. One of the rules is the need to opt-in. So, the user needs to opt-in to the social messenger first and then link your ID to your user account. Once that is done, you are ready to receive messages. You have to perform the same steps for each of the social messaging apps.

SendQuick Cloud can receive messages in two (2) ways: 

(1) Email-to-text (SMTP)

This means to send or forward any normal email to SendQuick Cloud. This “To” email address can be found in the rule configuration (see below).

 

(2) HTTP Webhook

This is available on the major web provider (Alibaba, AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud, Huawei Cloud and others). The configuration for each of these cloud providers can be found at https://www.sendquickcloud.com/user-and-integration-guide/. 

What are notification credits and how to use them?2023-04-03T10:36:47+08:00

1 user is entitled to configure 1 device and 1 check in any of the service categories (i.e. network monitor, cloud providers, or email filter). 

This user will have a one-time 900 notification credits which will be consumed whenever an alert is triggered (based on the rules configuration) or whenever a broadcast is completed. Each instant message will consume 2 credits. Each SMS/voice call will consume varying credits based on the destination. Email alert notification is free for now.

Do we need to pay for the alert messages on our phone?2023-04-03T10:37:17+08:00

There will be a one-off 900 notification credits per user given free to be used for delivery of the alert messages. Beyond that, we need to charge you for each alert message delivery because there are system and bandwidth resources, and telco charges involved.

Can I purchase additional credits at a later stage after I have started using SendQuick Cloud?2022-09-06T16:08:09+08:00

Yes, definitely. Just purchase more credits whenever needed. You may contact us or submit your enquiry online: https://www.sendquickcloud.com/#contact.

Why is there a need to buy additional notification credits?2021-08-11T21:08:58+08:00

If you expect to send more than the given pool of credits, you should go for purchase of additional credits to avoid any disruption – i.e. triggered alert notification messages not being delivered due to insufficient credits in the account.

Once purchased, the additional credits can be found in your company account for your use.

Can I stop the service at any time?2021-08-11T21:08:12+08:00

Yes, there is no minimum contract period (that’s why you are paying a monthly fee) and you can stop at any time.

What does SendQuick Cloud means by per user per check/rule and per device?2022-09-06T16:15:19+08:00

Every User account subscription will automatically come with a corresponding check.

A “check” is defined as any of the service categories that you would like to monitor. For example, this includes Ping/Port/URL check or Email Filter rules or Cloud Provider rules. Whenever you configure any one of them, this is referred to as one check.

How does SendQuick Cloud license work?2022-09-06T16:16:36+08:00

We license by the number of User/Checks when you subscribe. Basically, every user you subscribe, comes with one check and one device.

For example, if you subscribe for 5 users, you will get 5 checks and 5 devices automatically.
“Users” refer to the people (phone) that will receive the alerts.
“Checks” refer to the number of configuration (either Ping/Port/URL check or Email Filter rules or Cloud Provider rules) that you can configure.
“Devices” refer to the IP addresses of the server/application that you wish to include in the monitoring.

You can choose from any of them but configure up to the limit that you subscribe for.
