Desktop Alerts
Sent right to the desktop – they’re fast and effective
Connect in real-time
It’s never been easier to get your most important messages to your audience at just the right moment. Now, your Community Toolbar enables you to send instant alerts that get your urgent messages noticed in real-time!
Your message, your brand
Community alerts automatically include
your toolbar’s logo or any image you choose. Community alerts are short and to the point.
Delivered hot-off-the-presses
Last minute deals, urgent announcements, calls to action, and other time-sensitive messages often end up buried in overloaded e-mail boxes and spam filters – sometimes never to be read. Desktop alerts open in the bottom right-hand corner of your users’ screen, giving them instant visibility. And recipients can reach your destination page simply by clicking on the alert‘s link.
Easy to create and send
You can create a desktop alert and deliver it in seconds. Go to the ‘Alerts’ tab on your Community Toolbar control panel. Give your alert a headline, provide a link if desired, and include up to two lines of text. Preview and send – it’s delivered to all your toolbar users in seconds.
Simple user opt out
Users can opt out of receiving alerts right from within an alert by clicking the Tools icon. Users can also opt in or out from the Options menu on the toolbar.
Easy does it
Community alerts are a high-profile message delivery mechanism – sent instantly to your users and displayed in front of them no matter what they are doing. As such, they should be used sparingly so as not to annoy your community. You can send up to three alerts in any 24 hour period, but it’s best to save them for your most critical communications and space them sensibly.
