Turn alerts
Let visitors leave the tab: a chime and a browser notification when they're almost next and when it's their turn.
Waiting pages show an Alert me when it's my turn button. Visitors who turn it on can switch tabs. They get:
- A soft chime and a notification when they're about to reach the front.
- A second chime, a vibration on phones and a notification when it's their turn, just before they're taken to your site.
- A flashing tab title while the page is in the background.
Browsers only allow sound after a click, which is why visitors opt in. Notifications need their permission; if they decline, the chime still plays. On iPhone, notifications only work for sites added to the home screen; the chime works everywhere.
There's also Notify me by email, which emails visitors when they're about two minutes from the front.
Both can be switched off per design under On the page.
