Overview

Notify is an online, enterprise communication tool managed by the Ontario Digital Service that makes it simple, fast, and affordable for Ontario government to reach Ontarians.

Benefits of using Notify

Cross-channel communication

Notify is the first platform in the Ontario Public Service (OPS) to provide email, text message, and automated voice calls all in one place.

Easy to use

From test account to sending the first emails, Notify is quick to set up and you do not need any technical knowledge to create email, text message or letter templates.

Enterprise solution

Private, secure, and approved for use by Ontario Government teams, Notify is recognized by GovTechON as a Common Technology Enabler in the public service.

Collaborate with your team

Invite other OPS employees to join your Notify service so your team can work together to monitor, write, and send messages.
