When contacts use the safety connection features on the Everbridge Mobile App to trigger incidents, safety variable mappings allow certain variables to be included in incidents.

There are five safety fields that can be mapped with either a textbox or textarea incident variable:

• Record Type
• Member Name
• Phone Number
• SOS URL
• Location

4. Click on New Variable.
5. Select the type Textbox.
6. Enter a name, for example; geo-point.
7. Enter a character limit.
