The “Alerts” section enables you to create real time Alerts so as to detect weak signals on Topics you are monitoring.
You have several options to create an Alert.
2 - By clicking on the ALERTS tab of your platform, you can see all your alerts (active or inactive ones). You can also create a new one on this page.
We advise you to give a very clear title (e.g. Brand monitoring – Influencer detection) so the recipients of the Alert can understand the purpose of this Alert.
You can add as many recipients as you want, including people who doesn’t have any access to Visibrain.
You have the choice between 4 trigger modes to receive your Alerts:
First of all, you have to choose a Topic or a Subtopic on which you need to set an Alert on.
You can choose between different Alert types:
You receive a notification as soon as the global volume of your Topic significantly increases. This Alert can be configured with a smart or a custom option.
You receive a notification as soon as a new article is shared on the selected social media.
You receive a notification as soon as a hashtag, a tweet or an article is going viral on your Topic. You have to choose the trigger threshold of the Alert according to your Topic.
Snooze option
The snooze option enables you to customise the days and hours at which you don't wish to receive an Alert. The option is turned off by default.
We recommend you to use this option to pause an Alert outside of working hours for example or when you are not available.

You can easily modify an Alert already created by directly clicking on the Alert or by clicking on "Action".
