Alerts & Reminders On-Premise: Improved Tags

Introduction Previously VirtoSoftware has released an update of 365 Alerts Online App. This new simple feature was highly desired by our customers. And this is hardly surprising because the ability to use it pretty much enlarges the alert system functionality.

Certainly, the banner is new every time the recipient receives an alert. And there is no need to paste it manually to the message, Virto Alerts and Reminders web part makes it automatically. You just have to tune it the right way. We’ll show you how. ...
