Adding an ‘Alert’ widget to your patron mobile application is a great way to accomplish this.  Using an HTML widget, we can post an alert that contains text, urls and even images. Please reach out to the support team at [support@communico.us](mailto:support@communico.us) or open a support ticket from within Control Panel if you’d like us to add this feature for you. **EXAMPLE ALERT WIDGET WITH IMAGE**   ![Banner Alert 2](https://blog.communico.us/hs-fs/hubfs/Product%20Images/Banner%20Alert%202.jpg?width=424&name=Banner%20Alert%202.jpg)   **EXAMPLE ALERT WIDGET  - TEXT ONLY** ![Lincolnwood Banner Alert](https://blog.communico.us/hs-fs/hubfs/Product%20Images/Lincolnwood%20Banner%20Alert.jpg?width=433&name=Lincolnwood%20Banner%20Alert.jpg)   Topics: [Engage](https://blog.communico.us/support/topic/engage), [COVID-19 Response](https://blog.communico.us/support/topic/covid-19-response) ![Suzanne Marsalisi](https://app.hubspot.com/settings/avatar/46a59464560dd4021cde3f1921ffd249) #### Written by [Suzanne Marsalisi](https://blog.communico.us/support/author/suzanne-marsalisi) ### Subscribe to Email Updates ### Posts by Topic - [Attend (26)](https://blog.communico.us/support/tag/attend) - [Schedule (25)](https://blog.communico.us/support/tag/schedule) - [Reserve (22)](https://blog.communico.us/support/tag/reserve) - [Engage (20)](https://blog.communico.us/support/tag/engage) - [Training (17)](https://blog.communico.us/support/tag/training) - [COVID-19 Response (16)](https://blog.communico.us/support/tag/covid-19-response) - [Misc.
