What are Alerts
Alerts are notifications automatically sent to your email or messenger. You can choose and apply filters to decide which mentions will trigger an alert.
This way, you’ll stay informed with the most relevant updates directly in your inbox or messenger.
How to set up Alerts
You can set up alerts in 2 ways:
From the Mention Stream:
Click on the bell+ icon
Apply filters, if necessary. If you do not apply filters, you will receive all mentions related to your topic.
You can see examples of mentions with the selected filters to check their relevance.
Select "Delivery method" -> "Emails", "Messenger", or "+Add integration"
☝️ To choose a messenger or integration as the delivery method, you need to add an integration in the "Integrations" section first. For more details on how to do this, read this article: How to set up alerts in Telegram.
Choose a frequency for receiving alerts. As soon as the system finds a mention that fits the settings. Or every hour, all mentions that the system has found during that time (that match the settings).
Select recipients.
You can add email addresses for system users and colleagues who are not logged in YouScan.Click "Apply".
From the “Alerts” Folder:
Follow the same steps when creating alerts from the mentioned stream 👆
Once set up, you'll start to receive email notifications with mentions that match your selected filters.
Or messenger notifications with mentions that match your selected filters.
