Announcements in Apty are customizable pop-up notifications designed to inform users about important updates, such as new features, version releases, or other critical information. These announcements can include custom buttons that trigger actions like launching a workflow, playing a video, or linking to a document. The display of announcements can be tailored based on specific conditions, such as a defined time frame, the presence of certain elements on the application page, or criteria defined by a custom script.
When to Use Announcements
Announcements are particularly effective when you need to ensure that all users, or specific segments of users, are informed about significant changes or updates. Common use cases for announcements include:
- Notifying Users of New Features: Keep users informed about the latest enhancements to the application, ensuring they are aware of new functionalities as soon as they become available.
- Announcing Maintenance or Downtime: Provide timely updates about scheduled maintenance or expected downtime, allowing users to plan accordingly.
- Promoting Events or Services: Use announcements to highlight new software practices, upcoming events, or services that users might find beneficial.
- Sending Reminders: Announcements are useful for reminding users about important deadlines, such as the expiration of licenses or other time-sensitive information.
By using Apty’s announcement feature, you can ensure that important messages reach your users in a timely and effective manner, enhancing communication and user engagement within the application.
