Alerts
Alerts allows you to broadcast messages to AppCan Mobile users, making communication more efficient than traditional text messages or emails. Here are some key features of AppCan Alerts:
- Broadcast Messages: You can send messages to your mobile teams using AppCan Alerts. These messages can be pre-assigned group messages, alerts, or even include PDF attachments.
- Read Confirmations: AppCan provides a “read” function, so you know which recipients have seen your message. This feature helps ensure effective communication within your organization.
- Customisation: You can create messages specifically for your field force and assign them to individual users.
- PDF Support: Attach PDF content to support your alert messages.
- Video Support: Attached a URL for streaming of videos
