Get a highly customizable audio and/or visual alert for any email or SMS/text message. Simply supply search phrases, names, numbers, etc. to match incoming email or text messages. Get an alert on important email/text message from your spouse, kids, or boss. Alerts can be set at maximum volume with a very noticable alert screen and they can be set to alert you gently...or anything in between.
Another major AutomatonAlert feature allows you to choose emails that you want to be reminded about later but ignore for now. Just save any message in your alert list or from your INBOX and create a reminder for when that message becomes important again.
AutomatonAlert comes with two widgets that can be used to silence or completely ignore alerts with the touch of a button on your Home screen. You can also use the 3x1 widget to override the volume of alerts so you'll be sure to be notified if you're in a noisy car or bus, or notified unobtrusively if you're at a dinner party.
Features:
Search/Filter messages:
- Matched messages have their own alert/notification.
- Search phrases include wildcards for matching: * (one or more characters), ? (a character), # (a digit), | (or as in this|that). See website under Help!/Quick Help for more information.
- Can set <<default>> search phrase which matches any message not already matched. This lets you set a default ringtone for email or SMS. Unique alerts/notifications can then be set for those you want to stand out.
Configurable alerts/notifications:
- Create a unique ringtone/sound for matched messages and a default ringtone for un-matched messages (as mentioned above).
- Provides a substitute for the devices message notification and goes a step further so that you can provide a unique sound on messages that match your search/filter criteria.
- Play any sound that's on your device: ringtones, alerts, songs...any sound file
- Create a sound only alert: from a minimum of one loop or two seconds up to an hour.
- Create a visual alert: a unique and easily identifiable alert screen that you can dismiss or snooze.
- Use both for an alert that wont go unnoticed.
- Alerts can also be shown in the notification area, using the LED, and with vibration.
Save matched messages into 2 difference lists, New and Seen or automatically delete them. With saved alerts:
- Set as a favorite so they aren't accidentally deleted.
- Zoomed for easier reading
- Set a reminder alert can be set for a saved message
Set a reminder alarm on matched and any message in your Inbox:
- Tap on the clock on a message in the New or Seen list to set a reminder.
- For messages not already in a list, just download the Inbox message from the app and set a reminder.
Auto-acknowledge alerts/notifications for when you're not there.
- Configure how long an alert will go off until the app auto-acknowledges it.
- An auto-acknowledged alert can either be snoozed or dismissed.
Widget:
- Both widgets: With the tap of a button quickly turn off sounds or pause alerts from showing.
- 3x1 widget: Quickly override the volume of alerts by toggling through low, medium, high, and default. Great when you're in a car and need loud alerts, or in a quiet place and need soft alerts.
Set default time limits on alerts:
- Ensures that alerts dont go on forever while you're not there (for example when your cell is in a locker).
Quiet Time:
- Set a daily time range when alerts should not sound or be seen (is an automated way of silencing and pausing alerts).
