CDS-GCNotify Presentation

  • Uses Amazon web cloud services
  • To help users through government processes
  • Benefits
    • Reduces time effort and cost
    • Provides clarity for end-users
    • Increase trust and satisfaction
    • Doesn’t BCC users like email does
    • GC Notify doesn’t store personal data for more than 7 days by default, can be shorter
    • Support team provides 24 hour support
    • 422 federal services

Demo

  • GCNotify is public facing, but only public servants can create an account
  • Three steps to create a service
  • You create a service name and email address
  • @notification.canada.ca has high confidence from users
  • You can customize domain if needed
  • Quick and easy to set up a service
  • Can contact users by email or text
  • Includes reporting if your users received the message
  • You can format text messages with markup language
  • You can use API integration
  • You can manage different types of access to team members
  • We had to find a way to manage bounce rate, so we made a guide to help keep accurate contact information
  • If too many emails don’t work, Amazon could suspend the service, as they would assume we are spamming

Questions

Q: Have you thought about including “no reply” so users can opt out.

A: You can include a reply to the message. We’re looking to improve on that. We are looking at that and other ways to improve end-user experience. So far we’ve left that to departments, how they configure the opt in/opt out aspect.

Q: What else is on your roadmap this year?

A: We just released self-serve logos, which will ease our workflow. We’ve also done some other self-serve features. Additionally, we created an Incidents and Service Interruptions, which is public facing.

Q: Any plans for a subscription feature so users can add themselves?

A: Yes, we are looking into that.

Q: Are the custom logos vetted by TBS?

A: We don’t vet the logos ourselves, it’s the responsibility of the department to do that.
