A watch that alerts you only when it matters
Monitor pages and topics, and only be alerted to what really matters.
Monitoring a tenders website, a regulatory page or a competitor’s news takes time when you do it by hand. A watch does it for you. In Automations, the Watches tab lets you create one by describing what matters.
- What to monitor: the pages or the topics.
- What deserves an alert, and what does not.
- What the alert must contain: deadline, link, amount.
- Choose how often to check, for example every day at 08:00.
- Choose where to be notified: web, computer or phone.
- After a week, reread the alerts in the activity feed.
- If an alert was not useful, sharpen the criterion in one sentence.
