ALERTS

The wire tells you, on the cadence you set

Save a search or a watchlist, pick how often you want to hear about it, and the match arrives as an email or a browser notification. Instant is checked every five minutes.

What it is

An alert here is one of two objects. A saved search is a query — keywords, exclusions, countries, categories, the same operator grammar the feed uses. A watchlist is a named list of things you track: people, companies, tickers, sources, keywords, categories and subcategories, seven kinds in all. Each one is armed separately, runs on its own schedule and sends its own email, because "this matched your query" and "this mentioned a company you follow" are different sentences.

Most alerting moves its pointer forward whether or not the message actually left. Ours advances the watermark only after a send succeeds, so a mail provider having a bad afternoon delays your alert instead of deleting it. Every cadence also has a lookback floor — 24 hours on instant, up to 10 days on weekly — so an alert that was stalled for a while catches up without dumping a backlog into one email.

This is for the person who cannot sit in the feed all day: the comms lead who needs to know the moment a regulator or a competitor files, the reporter covering a beat across time zones, the analyst who mostly cares about what gets filed on a Friday afternoon. Alerts are part of Pro, and the plan is re-checked every single time a send runs.

What it does
ALERTS

Two objects, two emails

A saved search matches a filter; a watchlist matches entities you named. Separate schedules, separate emails — and the watchlist email prints which list caught each release and links the tickers it found.

WATCHLIST

Five cadences per list

Instant, hourly, every six hours, daily or weekly — set per list, not per account. Daily and weekly fire on a fixed hour rather than on elapsed time, so the email never drifts a little later each day.

PUSH

Push replaces the email

Turn browser push on and your alerts arrive on screen instead of in your inbox. One channel per send, so nothing can notify you twice — and if the browser drops the subscription, email resumes on its own.

QUIET

Two switches per watchlist

Quiet filings only keeps what was published outside attention hours — weekends, Friday after the close, the eve of a holiday — and drops the ordinary overnight. An AI lead can open any batched cadence.

RSS

A private URL per search

Any saved search can mint a token URL you paste into a reader. Rotate it to invalidate the old one, or switch it off. The URL re-checks the owner's plan on every single read.

MATCH

One reading of one query

The alert runs the feed's own matcher — accent-folded, anchored to whole words, the full operator grammar. A query that works when you type it in the app alerts on exactly the same releases.

How it works
01 · Arm it from the feed

Save the search you are already looking at, or file a company, ticker or source into a named watchlist from any row.

02 · Pick the cadence

Set each list anywhere from instant to weekly, and add quiet filings only or an AI lead if you want them.

03 · Choose where it lands

Leave it on email, or turn push on for this device and the same send arrives on screen instead — all of it managed in Notifications, under your account.

What it does not do

One email carries at most 25 releases per search or per list, and matching runs over roughly the last eight days of the live store rather than the full archive. "Instant" means the next five-minute check, not the second the release lands. Email, browser push and the per-search RSS URL are the channels — there are no others, and a saved-search daily or weekly digest always arrives as email.

Frequently asked
How fast is an instant alert, really?+
The instant jobs run every five minutes, so a match leaves within a few minutes of arriving. Instant alerts are windowed on when the release entered our store rather than on its printed timestamp, because publishers backdate and feeds are polled with lag.
Do I get an email and a notification?+
One or the other, never both. If this browser has push turned on, your alert is delivered on screen instead of by email — same loop, same watermark — and email comes back by itself if the subscription dies.
Is alerting a paid add-on?+
No. Saved-search and watchlist alerts are included in Pro at CA$99 a month, with a 7-day trial and no card. Your plan is re-checked every time a send runs, and a private RSS URL answers 410 Gone once it lapses.
