**Sense** is a bot that allows server owners & admins to broadcast messages to their users via Telegram or SMS. This allows users to get real-time notifications in a different medium than Discord notifications, which are notoriously easy to miss and unreliable.&#x20;

Your Discord community members are also in a lot of other Discord communities. This makes it really hard for them to see your announcements. Rather than trying to tag @everyone and keep pinging them, why not message them directly through a channel that they are guaranteed to see?

By allowing your users to sign up with **Sense**, you can send custom messages and announcements straight to your community members phone through SMS or Telegram, which have an open rate of up to 33x higher engagement than Discord push notifications.
