Announcement

Use Announcement to show rotating social-proof or scarcity messages, such as recent signups, source channels, or remaining offer counts. It is designed for lightweight notification-style proof, not long content blocks.

How It Works In Atomicat​

The 3.0 editor stores a title, description, position, display duration, interval, and a list of variations. The title and description can include variables @1, @2, and @3. Each variation provides values for those variables, and the editor warns when a variable is used but a variation field is empty or when variation fields are filled but not used in the message.

When To Use It​

  • Show rotating recent-lead style messages during a live offer.
  • Display scarcity copy that changes between variations, such as remaining spots or bonus counts.
  • Place a small proof notification at a page edge without rebuilding the layout.
  • Localize repeated announcement text while keeping the same variation structure.

Configure The Element​

  • Write the title and description first, using @1, @2, and @3 only where a variation value should be inserted.
  • Choose a position such as top-right, bottom-left, center, or the default placement.
  • Set duration for how long each announcement remains visible, then set interval for spacing between messages.
  • Add, remove, or reorder variations; keep at least one variation available.
  • Resolve variable warnings before publishing so visitors do not see blank replacement values.

Testing Notes​

  • Preview the full rotation long enough to see every variation.
  • Check mobile placement so the announcement does not cover form fields, checkout buttons, or cookie controls.
  • Use realistic proof claims; fabricated scarcity or social proof can violate ad policies.

Limitations And Tips​

  • Announcement is not the same as Notification; Notification is a single page-level message while Announcement rotates variable-based messages.
  • Use short copy. Long titles or descriptions can become hard to read in compact positions.
  • If a variable is not used in title or description, filling it in variations has no visitor-facing effect.

FAQ​

What do @1, @2, and @3 mean?

They are placeholders replaced by each announcement variation, for example name, source, and remaining quantity.

Why do I see a warning in the drawer?

The editor detects missing values for variables used in the title or description, or values filled for variables that are not used.

Can I control where announcements appear?

Yes. Position options include top, center, bottom, left, middle, and right combinations plus the default placement.
