How2: Anonymous Messaging

How to Use Anonymous Messaging in Dynotag


📆 Introduction

Dynotag’s anonymous messaging feature lets people send you private messages without seeing your contact information. It’s ideal for keeping your identity protected while remaining reachable—whether your tag is on a pet, a piece of luggage, or a keychain.


🔍 Why Use It?

  • Keep your email and phone number private
  • Allow finders or viewers to contact you securely
  • Great for lost-and-found, emergency tags, or sensitive medical info

✅ How to Turn On Anonymous Messaging

  1. Log in to your Dynotag account at dynotag.com
  2. Go to My Tags and select the tag you want to edit
  3. Click Tag Content
  4. Scroll down to the Anonymous Messaging section
  5. Toggle the switch to Enable
  6. Click Save to apply your changes

🔐 How It Works

  • Viewers of your tag (via QR code or short link) will see a button to send you a message
  • They don’t see your name, email, or phone number
  • Messages are sent to your Dynotag inbox and emailed to you if notifications are enabled

Note: You can reply to these messages, but your response will reveal your email address to the recipient.


📌 Example Scenario

You attach a Dynotag to your dog’s collar. If your dog goes missing and someone scans the tag, they can send you a message like:

Hi, I found your dog near 5th and Main. He’s safe with me.

You get the message instantly—and can decide how you want to reply.


🤔 FAQ

Q: Can I turn off this feature later?
A: Yes, simply return to your tag’s settings and toggle it off.

Q: Can I block certain senders?
A: At present, anonymous senders can’t be blocked individually, but you can turn the feature off entirely.

Q: Are these messages stored?
A: Yes. They will be in your Dynotag inbox and are also forwarded via email (if enabled).


📅 Summary

Anonymous messaging gives you a way to stay in contact without giving away your personal details. It helps make your tags safer, more useful, and more secure—especially in lost-and-found situations.

Enable it on any Dynotag today to add a new layer of privacy and convenience.


📌 Example Scenario 2 – Step by step

Below, we set up a luggage tag Super ID for anonymous messaging:

First, on “My Records” screen, we click its orange “Item” record button.

This places us in the “Basic Information” section. We unclick all information shared from our “My Account” page – so they will not be displayed by default.

Note that we provide extra information in the “Description” area of the Basic Information Section, encouraging the viewer to get in touch with us…

We save our changes, then click the button to see the Record Dashboard.

Click the “Settings” icon on the record dashboard.

Expand the “Anonymous Messaging” subsection, check the “Enable Anonymous Messages” checkbox and “Save”.

Now, when a third party views the SuperID tag on your property, they will see the page below.
Note that there is NO personal information or contact information displayed on the page, although, there is a button to send a quick message to the owner of the ID tag:

Once the button is clicked, the viewer is taken to the “Messaging” page where they can type their message in – as shown in the example below:

Once the sender clicks the “Send” button, the Dynotag System will relay the message instantly. It will send the message as an email to the tag owner’s email. The email content would be as below. Note the email is relayed from the special send-only email address noreply@dynotag.com
