Email Alerts for Keywords

When a user makes a post or comments containing a keyword from the keyword set

  • Alerts are sent to moderators and channel owners. 
  • They are not sent to Community Managers by default

If a Community Manager wants to receive alerts for that channel, they need to join that channel and promote themselves to a moderator or owner. Then they will receive notifications for that channel. They need to join and promote in every channel they want to receive notifications for all channels.

Here is an example of the email alert notification-

  • The email alert is generated from “no-reply@readyeducation.com" email and the message subject gives the keyword that triggered the alert, and the channel name.
  • It gives the name of the user who made the post or comment and the time. There is a link to open the post (a permalink).
  • There is an unsubscribe link. Clicking it allows you to set your email notification settings. You can blanket turn off your email notifications for keyword alerts here. Or, you can follow this same link to re-subscribe.
