How SigSpan works

Three stages, no code changes required. Stage two is where the work happens.

Stage 1

Connect your monitoring

Point your existing equipment, scripts, and monitoring tools at your unique SigSpan email address. Whatever already sends alert emails keeps doing exactly that — just addressed to SigSpan.

Stage 2

SigSpan processes

Your alert runs through SigSpan's approved messaging API — the one piece purpose-built to turn an alert email into a delivered text. It parses the message, applies your routing rules, and dispatches it for text delivery.

Architecture overview

Stage 3

Text delivered

Your on-call team receives the alert as a standard text message — no app, no internet required, just their phone.

Built for IT operations

The specifics that matter when you're routing production alerts.

Built on infrastructure you can verify

We document our stack publicly so you can see for yourself that SigSpan runs on AWS — proven, widely trusted infrastructure — for a backend that's stable and secure.

SigSpan runs entirely on AWS in us-east-1. Inbound email is received via Amazon SES, parsed by AWS Lambda, persisted to DynamoDB with AWS KMS encryption at rest, and dispatched via Amazon SNS. Every message is audit-logged with a 30-day retention window. AWS WAF protects the customer-facing API in production; credentials and signing keys are held in AWS Secrets Manager.
