Fantastic Features! Using alerts to get the most out of business instant messaging with Effusia
The topic of this week’s Fantastic Features! - Alerts!
Effusia offers two types of alerts: Status Pop-up and Manual Alert. You may be asking yourself, “Effusia Blog, Which type of alert should I use?” The answer is… it depends. If you need to be continuously aware of a person’s online status then a Status Pop-up would be the best decision.
The Status Pop-up is a non-intrusive pop-up window with information about a person’s online status as it changes and is ideal for the people that you communicate with the most. This feature can be turned on in Effusia Settings->Contacts->Other Options.
However, the Manual Alert would be more fitting if you only need to know about someone’s status occasionally or for specific reasons.
The Manual Alert will draw more attention to the alert because of the size of the pop-up window and includes the option to start a conversation immediately from the window. This feature can be turned on in My Effusia->Contacts->Setup Alert.
