SharePoint Alert Banner

Important Message is a tenant-wide SharePoint alert banner for when something actually matters. System outage, building closure, urgent policy change - the whole business sees it the moment they open any SharePoint page. Permission-controlled, severity-coded, dismissible, and optionally requiring acknowledgement for the alerts that really need to be read.

The Problem

Something breaks, or something urgent happens, and you have no fast way to reach everyone. Email gets buried. A chat message reaches the people already online. Publishing a news article takes too long, and half the business won't see it anyway because they don't visit the homepage that day. Critical information spreads by rumour.

The Solution

Important Message shows a prominent banner across the top of every SharePoint page in your tenant. Publish once, everyone sees it. Three severity levels so urgency reads at a glance. Dismissible so it goes away once read - and for the alerts that genuinely cannot be missed, you can require an explicit acknowledgement before the user continues.

A Closer Look at Important Message

What You Get

The fastest way to reach everyone when something urgent happens.

✓

Three Severity Levels

Information (blue), Warning (amber) and Critical (red). Distinct colour coding so urgency reads at a glance - even for people who skim.

✓

Tenant-Wide Visibility

Publish once, see it everywhere. Appears on every SharePoint page in the tenant automatically - no site-by-site deployment needed.

✓

Permission-Controlled Publishing

Only authorised users can post alerts. Standard SharePoint permissions - typically internal comms, IT ops or a dedicated alerts security group.

✓

Acknowledgement Required (Optional)

For alerts that absolutely must be read - safety notices, mandatory policy changes, regulatory updates - require an explicit acknowledgement click. Provides a record that every user has confirmed receipt.

✓

Dismissible (When You Want)

Users dismiss once they've read it. Configurable per alert - you can force critical messages to remain visible until the issue is resolved.

✓

Start and End Dates

Schedule alerts to appear and disappear automatically. Perfect for planned maintenance windows - no one forgets to take the message down afterwards.

✓

Optional Link for Detail

Attach a link to a status page, full article or incident report for users who need more detail than the banner provides.

Questions About Important Message

What's included for £249 a year?

Important Message deployed tenant-wide across your SharePoint Online environment, step-by-step admin install guides covering the SharePoint list backend and authoring permissions, all three severity levels and the acknowledgement-required option, email support during business hours, and ongoing licence renewal each year. There's no separate setup fee, and a managed install service is available on request.

How does the Stripe checkout work?

When you click Buy Now you'll be taken to a secure Stripe checkout page. Pay by card or direct debit, VAT is added automatically. You'll get an instant receipt, and we'll send your install pack and step-by-step guides within one business day.

Can multiple messages be active at the same time?

Yes. Multiple active alerts stack in order of severity with Critical first. We'd recommend keeping it to one or two active at a time though - banner blindness is real, and the whole point of Important Message is that it gets noticed.

Who can publish alerts?

Anyone with edit permissions on the underlying SharePoint list. You control this through standard SharePoint permissions - typically a "Comms" or "Alerts" security group so there's no single bottleneck in an incident, but the list is still tightly controlled.

When should we use acknowledgement-required versus dismissible?

Use dismissible for the majority of alerts - outages, building updates, general announcements. Use acknowledgement-required for the alerts where you genuinely need a record that every user has read it: safety notices, mandatory policy changes, regulatory or legal updates, and major contractual changes. Acknowledgement is intentionally more friction-heavy, so saving it for the moments that really matter keeps it effective.

How is this different from Scrolling Notice?

Important Message is for urgent, tenant-wide alerts: system outages, emergencies, critical policy changes. It appears on every SharePoint page in the tenant. Scrolling Notice (Complete bundle only) is for lighter-weight page-level announcements: social events, canteen menus, reminders. Use both together - one for the things that matter, one for the everyday chatter.

What about data protection and compliance?

All alerts live in your own Microsoft 365 tenant's SharePoint list. Nothing leaves your tenant, no external services are called. Dismiss state and acknowledgement records are stored within your tenant. Security documentation is available for your IT governance review.

Never Let Critical Information Spread by Rumour

Buy Important Message for £249 a year and your admin can have it live on your SharePoint tenant within days, using our step-by-step guides. Or book a demo if you'd rather see it first.
