Alertus Desktop™ for Chrome

Override computer displays with critical alert messages on computers running a Chrome browser

Desktop alerts are a cost-effective and powerful mass notification tool for reaching your audience in case of an emergency or for routine internal communication. When an alert is initiated, targeted computer screens display a full—or partial-screen alert with your logo and custom notification.


Key Features

  • Flexible Installation: Manage installations on machines centrally. Admins can remotely deploy this alerting feature to your network using G-Suite or Group Policy; a manual install config file can be provided if needed.

  • Customizable: Utilize multiple .HTML template options, including custom alert text, ticker speeds, and organizational logos that can be tailored to suit your needs.

  • Auditing: Admins can review detailed reports to track who receives and/or acknowledges a notification sent to them.

  • Cross-Platform Support: This extension is supported on all Windows, Mac, Chromebook, and Linux computers that can run a Chrome browser.

  • Automatic Updates: Alertus’ Chrome browser extension will update automatically when a new version is released.

  • Non-Invasive: This extension runs in the background with minimal network traffic (~1 KB per request).

  • Intelligent Load Management: Alertus Server software dynamically adjusts the polling interval to optimize notification speed while maintaining critical stability.
