DeskAlerts is an internal communications software that delivers messages to your employees’ computer screens and mobile devices via different types of notification channels such as active directory notifications, desktop pop-up windows, push notifications, email messages, desktop tickers, wallpapers, screen savers, text alerts, active directory alerts and more.
What’s good about DeskAlerts is that you can sort out audiences for your message. This gives you the freedom to limit your messages and to arrange them categorically without fears of sending messages to the wrong person. You can broadcast to your entire list of employees, or select a targeted group of users based on parameters such as work location or work team.
Keep target groups changes synchronized and updated with active directory alerts
There’s no need to input all the names of all your employees into DeskAlerts - the system can be integrated easily with your company’s Active Directory system, allowing you to set target groups based on your automatically synchronized AD Data.
No matter what you need, whether you have multi-domains or a complicated domain tree structure, you can export your Active Directory users to the DeskAlerts system. We support three ways of such integration: Classic AD integration, Sync Free and Azure Active Directory Integration.
DeskAlerts synchronizes with the Active Directory on a schedule, so any changes or updates to your system aren’t missed. – new users are automatically added and employees who have left the company are removed.
Benefits Of DeskAlerts’ Active Directory Integration
Integrating with Active Directory is one of the most vital features of DeskAlerts since it simplifies targeting the information in a large organization. Use existing organizational units and security groups to deliver the notifications on a location or role basis, or target selected individual recipients for maximum precision.
With Active Directory integration you can set up specific groups of users to target messages to, which will help you to get the most out of DeskAlerts’ functions.
For example, if you want to send important information to one particular team or to an office in a particular geographic location, the custom groups will enable you to do this without communicating with everyone else in the company.
