New Feature – MacSite Alert

It’s been a while since our last update, but we’ve been hard at work making improvements to the MacSites platform. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be posting updates regularly to highlight some of these updates.

A feature that clients have been requesting regularly, and something that has become a priority with COVID, is an alert banner that can be activated with the same message across an entire MacSite.

We’re happy to announce that this feature is now live and available for use on all MacSites.

Why would I use this?

As we’ve seen in the last several months, teams are scrambling to bring the most up to date information to their audiences.

Having the ability to add a full-site message isn’t just useful to highlight COVID updates, it also works well when there are big changes (ex. application deadlines, announcements, etc.) or unforeseen emergencies (ex. snow days, closures, service changes, etc.).

It’s a fantastic way to get important information to a large audience, quickly.

How can I add an Alert to my site?

You can find the MacSites Alert option by going to Settings (in the black sidebar in the back-end) > MacSites Alert Settings.

The options are straightforward and even allow for some branded colour selections and/or adding a link to a page with more information.

Once enabled, it will appear on all pages of a site until it gets modified or turned off.

We’re always here to help. If you (or anyone on your team) need assistance with this or any other feature, please contact us.
