Note

Please note: For the Vivi Emergency API to operate, your existing emergency management system needs to be able to output a web-based trigger (https HTTPS GET methodor PUT methods). Please refer to the manufacturer’s instructions of your system for more information on if this is available.

...

In the triggers, you will need to insert your Emergency Type ID and have the option of including the Location ID. The Emergency Type ID is the name of the emergency as shown in Vivi Central. Emergency types can be viewed and edited at: https://admin.vivi.io/emergencies/emergency-types. The Location ID is the name of a location or sub-location as shown in Vivi Central. Locations and sub-locations can be viewed and edited at: https://admin.vivi.io/organisations/locations.

<emergency_type_id>: ID of emergency type to trigger – Required
<location_id>: ID of location to trigger emergency at - Optional, trigger organisation wide emergency if not provided

...

Note

The location ID provided in the URL must be for a top level Location. Triggering Emergencies at the sub-location level is not supported.

Cancelling an Emergency

Your emergency management system needs to output the following URL to cancel an emergency:
