In urgent situations, it’s crucial to inform and instruct those who need to know instantly. Traditional communication tools often fail to grab attention due to information overload, remote workers who are hard to contact, and other factors that cause crucial messages to get lost in the noise. Our Desktop Alerts offer the perfect solution to instantly notify and inform your team, ensuring that no message goes unnoticed.

everyone instantly

Our Desktop Alerts are essential for keeping employees and the organisation safe. They provide instant notifications and instructions to employees when time is limited, ensuring rapid message delivery across the organization. Designed for maximum visibility, alerts appear over other applications to immediately capture attention. The tool also features acknowledgements and call-to-action buttons, enabling employees to provide feedback or access additional information.

Encourage prompt actions

Effective communication is not just about delivering messages but also about prompting the right actions. Our Desktop Alerts come equipped with call-to-action (CTA) buttons that encourage employees to respond promptly. These CTAs can be customized to direct employees to give an acknowledgement, read more information, or complete specific tasks. This functionality is vital for ensuring that communications are not only received but also acted upon, driving better outcomes and faster responses.

Enhance internal response

In urgent situations, timely and clear communication is essential. Our Desktop Alerts ensure rapid delivery of instructions or warnings to employees, providing vital information without delay. Alerts can include text, icons, and images to offer comprehensive guidance, making it easier for employees to understand and follow instructions when time is limited, like during a fire. By using this tool, you ensure that everyone knows exactly what to do in critical moments, significantly enhancing safety and response effectiveness.

Some questions
already answered

To flesh out some information about our Desktop Alerts, we have already answered some questions you might possibly have. If your question is not listed, we would love to hear from you!

What are Netpresenter Desktop Alerts?

Netpresenter Desktop Alerts are real-time notifications that appear directly on the computer screens of employees. They are designed to deliver important messages immediately, ensuring that critical information reaches users without delay. These alerts can include text, images, links, and even videos, and they are typically used for urgent communications like emergency notifications or important updates from management.

Can Netpresenter Desktop Alerts be stopped by pop-up blockers?

No, Netpresenter Desktop Alerts are not affected by pop-up blockers. Unlike standard web-based pop-ups, Netpresenter alerts are delivered through a dedicated application that runs on employees’ computers. This ensures that alerts will appear regardless of web browser settings or any pop-up blocking software that may be installed.

Can I schedule Desktop Alerts to be sent at specific times?

Yes, publishers can schedule Netpresenter Desktop Alerts to be sent at specific times. This feature is particularly useful for planning announcements or reminders that need to be delivered at a precise moment. For example, you can schedule IT-related updates, such as server maintenance, in advance and make timely announcements. By setting the date and time for the alert to go live, you ensure your message reaches the audience exactly when intended.

Can Desktop Alerts pop up in different formats or sizes?

Yes, Netpresenter Desktop Alerts can be customized to pop up in different formats and sizes. A Desktop Alert can have different priority levels: high-priority alerts will be displayed full screen at 100% screen size, medium-priority alerts will be displayed as a mid-size pop-up at 50% of the screen, and low-priority alerts can be displayed as a smaller notification (25% of the screen) in the bottom right corner of a PC screen. This flexibility ensures that each alert is appropriate for its context and effectively captures the recipient’s attention.
