Site Notifications

Better Messages displays on-site notification popups when users receive new messages while browsing your website.

How it works​

When a new message arrives, a small notification popup appears in the corner of the screen showing a preview of the message. Users can click the notification to open the conversation directly. The notification automatically disappears if user read the conversation in another tab. The plugin can also display the unread message count in the browser tab title, making it visible even when the user is on another tab.
