We used (at a former workplace) an external bash script to generate shorter SMS notifications with just the relevant variables. In our case, we had our own SMS gateway, so the script did an authenticated curl push into the web interface. It also sent condensed recovery notifications.

There's no reason that you couldn't use an external script to generate the "normal" alert notifications and recoveries for standard email delivery.

Tony, We switched sending our emails to the SMS gateway instead of the text gateway of our carrier and its much better. I believe Verizons SMS to email gateway is number@vzwpix.com mailto:number@vzwpix.com. Its worth a try.
Thank youKevin Riahi

Hi, I have 2 questions about this.
First, is it possible to attach a notification format per contact. We are sending out text alert notifications using number@vtext.com mailto:number@vtext.com and I think the format is too big for vtext.com to accept. Is it possible that on a contact, scale down the notification?
Second, is it possible to change the format of the general “recover” email?
thanks
Tony
