How can I set up an alert?
Setting up Talkwalker Alerts is extremely easy and takes just a few seconds. All you need to do is follow the steps below:
Step 1:Pick a topic to set up an alert and enter it into our alerts search bar.
Step 2: Enter the email address where you would like to receive your alerts - unlikeGoogle Alerts(linked to your Google account), you’ll receive Talkwalker Alerts on any email address you wish to use.
Step 3:Choose the type of alerts you would like to receive: News, Twitter, Blogs or Discussion forums.
Step 4:Select the language of your results. Talkwalker Alerts is available in 22 different languages.
Step 5:Select how often you would like to receive alerts in your inbox. You can choose “As it happens” if you like to use alerts to keep an eye on Twitter or any other platform in near real-time.
Step 6:Select whether you’d like to receive all mentions of your search query/favorite topic on the internet or only the ones with the most engagement. We recommend that you choose “Only the best results” if you have selected “As it happens” in the previous step. If you choose “As it happens” and “All results” for the same query, you might find your inbox flooded during the day. However, the combination of these features is extremely relevant in a communication/PR crisis situation.
Step 7:Use the preview feature to check that everything is set up as you would like.
Step 8:Hit the “Create Alert” button.
All you have to do after this is verify your email address and we’ll start sending you alerts straight to your inbox. Oh and in case you’re wondering, the entire set-up takes less than 30 seconds!
