Sage Tip: Get alerts when new messages are posted to Sage MAS 90 message board

Posted By: Wayne Schulz

One of the most convenient ways to read content on the Internet is via the use of RSS feeds. With an RSS feed you can quickly skim the titles of different articles that have been published online. Most sites – including the new Sage Software Message Boards – support the use of RSS feeds.

For those of you who may be more casual users of the Internet or who don’t want to log onto an RSS reader to check messages – here’s an interesting solution that I’ve been using for the past three months.

The service is called Pingie. It’s presently free and in beta with a limitation of 5 different feeds that may be added to each individual account.

What Pingie does is watch your RSS feeds and send out an alert each time the feed is updated.

This is useful for times when you would like to know that a new message has been posted into a specific forum without having to constantly log into the site and view the list of new messages on your computer.

Here’s an example of how to setup the Core Financial Message Board in Pingie so that every time someone posts a new message (or reply) you will get a notification.

Note: These notifications can be sent to either your email address or to a cell phone via SMS.
