Mention utilizes email notifications to help you stay on top of the topics you are monitoring and the social media tools you are accessing on a daily basis. Within your account, you have multiple emailing options that will be sent to you depending on different circumstances. In this article, we will teach you your options for email notifications and explain the benefits of each type.
At this time, Mention offers email notifications for these specific instances:
All of these options will appear directly in your Notifications tab in the Settings page:
💡Mention Tip: These preferences are specific to each member in your team. If your team members would like to configure these notifications, they will need to do it on their own account.
Setup Your Email in Mention
Before we begin, please make sure that your account settings have the correct email. Mention will send notifications to the email that you utilize to access your account.
If you would like to change this email, please head to the Account tab in Settings and update the email field.
Spike Notifications
Spike notifications can be sent to you when you begin to receive an unexpectedly large number of mentions in your account. These notifications can be used to indicate if a crisis is emerging since they will only be delivered when your alerts fetch a large volume of mentions in a short period of time. If you are conducting brand or reputation monitoring, we recommend activating Spike notifications on your account!
💡 Mention Tip: Spike Notifications can be delivered by email or SMS notifications! These are the only notifications we can share via SMS. Mention will send a text to the cell number that is listed in your Account Settings.

Configure Spike Notifications
Within your Notifications settings, you can activate Spike notifications through the drop-down menu listed in the photo above. Your options are:
Important increase: when your alert’s activity is much higher than it's normal patterns.
Very important increase: when the deviation in activity is huge – we are talking big things happening.
From there, we recommend scrolling to down to the section titled 'Top Mentions'. In this space, you can configure the notification preferences for each alert in your account:
Mention calculates your Spike notifications by reviewing the number of mentions gathered during the current week and comparing the volume to the previous week. We use a statistical model to review the hourly and daily fluctuations of mentions you receive. If you begin to receive an abnormally large volume of mentions, then a Spike notification will be sent to you so you can review your account:
