Agility allows you to receive instant email notifications whenever your Topics, Subscriptions, or Social Topics generate new results. Coverage Alerts are ideal when you need real-time visibility — for example:
During an event or launch
When monitoring a fast-moving story
When your team needs updates immediately
Below is a full guide to creating, customising, and activating Alerts.
🔹 Step 1 — Start by Creating a Coverage Alert
Before setting up an alert, ensure you have:
A saved Topic
Or a Subscription, Social Topic, or Theme
Once ready, go to:
Monitor → Coverage Alerts → Recent Coverage Alert
🔹 Step 2 — Customize the Alert Layout
A new Coverage Alert includes default components:
Header image
Date
Title
Each component can be edited by selecting the pencil icon at the top right of the block.
You can also add:
A Text component
Additional headings or layout blocks
🔹 Step 3 — Choose the Alert Source
You can configure your alert to pull mentions from:
A Topic
A Subscription
A Social Topic
A Theme
This determines which results will trigger the alert.
🔹 Step 4 — Use Source Filters for Precision
You can filter the source to create highly targeted alerts, such as:
Mentions containing specific keywords
Coverage from selected outlets
Mentions matching a certain Sentiment
Content from a specific media type
This ensures your alert only triggers on the exact content you care about.
🔹 Step 5 — Customize the Formatting & Style
Coverage Alerts can be branded and styled using the design tools inside the editor. You can:
Adjust fonts, colours, and spacing
Style mention blocks
Add or remove components
Format text for readability or branding
🔹 Step 6 — Configure Delivery Settings
Under Delivery Options, specify:
Subject line
From name
Reply-to email
Recipient list(s)
You can also set:
Alerts to continue indefinitely, or
Limit them to a predefined date range
🔹 Step 7 — Save & Activate
When everything looks right:
Click Save as Draft
Click Activate when you’re ready to start receiving alerts
Your alert will begin sending as soon as new matching coverage is detected.
