ActiveCrawl
Deliver your content via a rolling text crawl that displays along the bottom of the computer desktop
If you watch any news show on CNN or Fox, you will see a text crawl scrolling along the bottom of window displaying news bulletins.

Now, with ActiveCrawl, you can deliver text crawls directly on the computer desktop. ActiveCrawl is a powerful solution that sends real-time information directly to the desktop in the form of a text crawl that appears along the very bottom of the screen.
A streamlined communication mechanism, ActiveCrawl makes it very simple to get the attention of your audience by placing your content where it cannot be missed. As email inboxes become more and more cluttered, content delivered to the desktop is much more likely to be seen. In addition, it delivers information in a recognizable fashion.
Do you have RSS technology on your website? ActiveCrawl RSS can instantly create and deliver crawls for your feeds.
Stay-in-Front Technology Delivers Content Quickly
ActiveCrawl is the simplest way to quickly deliver news and information to your audience:
- Breaking News
- Security Notices
- Weather Warnings
- Event Information
- Sales and Promotions
Using an intuitive, web-based administrative tool, it is simple to create and manage crawls. Crawls can also be scheduled on a daily, weekly, monthly, or recurring basis.
Text crawls are linkable to any HTML source of information:
- Website URL
- Blog
- Podcasts
- RSS Feeds
- Advertisements
- Social networking websites
Targeted Crawls to Different Audience Segments
Text crawls can be sent in one of two ways: as mass crawls or as targeted crawls.
- Mass crawls are delivered to every active user of your ActiveCrawl solution
- Targeted crawls are sent to specific users
Crawls can be targeted via any location or contact data (zip code, email address) or any custom data field you define. By targeting your crawls, you have the ability to make your messaging more effective by delivering content that your users want, when it's most relevant.
Build Your Own Custom Integration
To allow for third part integration, we offer an API (application programming interface) for ActiveCrawl.
Use our API to deliver ActiveCrawl exactly the way you want it to fit into your system's infrastructure. Easy to use, easy to modify, we're here to guide you every step of the way.
ActiveCrawl RSS - Feeds Delivered to the Desktop
Want to leverage your own RSS technology?
If your website is equipped with an RSS Feed, ActiveCrawl can automatically deliver a text crawl to your users whenever you publish a new item in your RSS Feed.
