Advanced Alerts enhance the quality of your results and allow you to monitor the topics that matter to you. Here are some features provided by advanced alerts:

Let's discover together how to set properly the Advanced Alerts:

To get started, you will need to select the option Add a new Alert on the left-hand side of your Mention Feed. From there, select the third option titled Advanced Alert. The other options will bring you to the Basic Alert and Standard Alert creation flows.

Here's a quick tutorial video that goes into the layout of the alert page as well as the different features you will have access to with the advanced alerts!

Topics covered include:

The Boolean Query Page

Monitored Pages

Blocked Websites

Historical Data

On the first tab you can start listing the keywords you want to monitor using our available Boolean Operators to define whether the keywords should be monitored separately, in pairs, or any other way.

❗️Please note that if Historical Data for Twitter is activated, your Boolean Query has a limit of 2048 characters.

The Mention Preview will allow you to view the potential quota consumption of your alert. Clicking the preview button allows you to see an estimate of how many mentions your alert would receive in a 30 day period based on your current search terms. It can be used to avoid exceeding your monthly quota before you create or save your alert.

After all of that you can save your new Alert! Your new alert will begin fetching for content on the web immediately upon creation.
