VDA vA — Support

VDA vA ActiveAero ONLY (Virtual Dispatch Assist) – helps dispatchers and owner-operators quickly spot the loads they care about on supported freight portal pages—without constantly re-scanning the screen.

What it does

  • Scans load rows/cards on the page and detects origin (FROM) and destination (TO) text when available, with a smart fallback for generic tables/lists/cards.
  • Highlights matching rows/fields with clear visual cues (red outline) so you can instantly see what triggered.

Three matching modes (automatic priority)

  • Radius mode (highest priority): if Radius filtering is enabled, matching is based on distance—not keywords.
  • FROM/TO keyword mode: matches FROM keywords against origin only and TO keywords against destination only (both must match when both are provided).
  • General keywords (ANY mode): used only when both FROM and TO keyword fields are empty—keywords apply to the entire row text.

Two independent radius filters (Radius #1 and Radius #2)

  • Each has its own center location, miles, and whether it applies to FROM or TO.
  • If both are configured, a row must satisfy both (AND logic).
  • Uses air-distance (haversine) with a practical tolerance factor to reduce false misses.

Telegram alerts (optional)

  • When a row matches, the extension can send a formatted message to your Telegram.
  • Messages include a site header and a short tag for the match type (Radius / ANY).

Audio + badge feedback

  • Plays a short beep when matches are found (capped to avoid noise).
  • Updates the extension badge count with how many rows triggered in the last scan.

Smart throttling to prevent spam

  • Each unique matching row is rate-limited (per page/tab) so you don’t get repeated alerts as the page refreshes.

Auto-Login (optional)

  • An optional “Auto-Login” mode can assist with signing in on ActiveAero by automatically filling login fields and completing the login step when you choose to enable it.

How it works (in plain terms)

  • You set keywords, FROM/TO terms, optional radius centers, and optional Telegram settings in the popup.
  • The extension scans the page on load, when the tab becomes visible, and periodically.
  • When something matches, it highlights the row and (optionally) sends you a Telegram notification.
