As your monitoring needs grow or change, you might want to adjust the settings of your diverse alert searches. On your Mention account, you can change the configuration of your alerts at any time! In Edit mode, you have the option to:

  • Add or remove the keywords you are monitoring

  • Adjust the URLs you are tracking through Monitored Pages

  • Choose your language or country monitoring preferences

  • Blacklist websites

  • And more!

This option to edit alerts is available for Administrators and Users, but not for Guests, who have read-only access.

❗️Please note that, if you modify an existing Alert, the mentions collected until you do the changes remain the same. Removing or deleting content from your Feed does not give back your Quota.

In the sections below, we will go over how to find the alert edit page and the editing options available for each type of Mention alert.


Alert Edit Page

On the Mention Feed, you will see your list of alerts. If you hover over the title of the alert, the Edit button will appear. Please click on this to access the editing page!

The new screen will show you various categories. Depending on the type of Alert you are working on, the categories will change:
