Dispatch Notify
This plugin utilizes API endpoints that require the plus version of Sonoran CAD or higher. For more information, view our pricing page.

This plugin notifies officers of incoming calls and allows them to attach to calls via command. When the officer is attached to the dispatch call their GPS is automatically routed to the postal code. GPS routing is updated whenever the dispatch postal is updated and civilians making the emergency call are also notified when an officer is en-route.

No notifications for 911 calls
Units must be logged into the CAD (by default) or meeting the requirements depending on how the plugin is configured.
If using pNotify notifications, ensure that resource is running.
Units do not automatically attach to calls
Ensure their API ID is set so the server knows who they are.
Caller is not notified when units attach to the call
If the caller ever leaves the server and rejoins, this feature does not work.
If dispatch created the call within the CAD, there is no way to notify a caller.
Ensure you are not overriding the 911 command (default
/911) with another resource.
