One of the most powerful features of Mindings is GotIt!
With GotIt! the person using Mindings can let the sender of a picture or message know that it’s been received.
GotIt! works with pictures and text messages (“Text-O-Grams“). It works in different ways and does different things, but the point is that all the user needs to know is that by touching the Got-It! icon on the bottom right of the screen (or pressing the Space Bar if they’re using Mindings on a computer) they’re letting the sender know they’ve seen the picture or message.
So, what does GotIt! actually do when the user touches the icon?
If you sent an SMS text message to Mindings, GotIt! sends you a text message back
If you sent a picture via email, GotIt! send you an email back to the same address
If you sent a picture via MMS, GotIt! send you a text message back to the same phone number
So, by sending pictures and messages to Mindings, you get responses back – letting you know the user is well, and interacting with the world. How reassuring is that?
And if that wasn’t enough, we’ve added two additional features.
We’ve made GotIt! optional
We’ve added the option for Text-O-Grams to “pause” Mindings.
We’ve found that by making Text-O-Grams pause Mindings, the user is more likely to notice the message and respond (motivated by wanting to see pictures of their family again!). Once the user acknowledges the Text-O-Gram then Mindings continues.
So, go to the “General Settings” tab in the Mindings Admin Site and try it out!
