Alerts Setup Guide
The watchlist is where you save your list of companies, or keyword matching, that you'd like to receive alerts for.
​
Create Your Watchlist
To add entries to your Watchlist:
-
Enter Company Symbols and/or Keywords to match company announcements. Use a comma to separate entries, or paste as a list, e.g. from Excel.
-
Click "Add".
-
Click "Save".
​
Headline Keyword Matching
In your watchlist, you have the option to add entries containing a keyword (i.e. free text), that will be matched against headlines.
For example, using the keyword director, this will match the following headline examples:
Appointment of Executive Chair and Executive Director
Change of Director's Interest Notice
List of Directors and their roles and functions
​
You can also match using a mixture of words, such as "Capital Rais", which covers multiple variations of headlines:
Capital Raising
Completed Capital Raise
Multiple entries are comma-separated, but each entry can include spaces to combine a mixture of words as a phrase. For example:
launch, contract, capital rais, quarterly report, placement
This has 5 entries in total, separated by comma. 2 of those entries are multiple words - "capital rais", and "quarterly report".
​​
Wilcard * (asterisk)
You can use the asterisk character as a wildcard to cater for possible variations of keywords. For example:
buy*back
This will match "buy-back", "buyback", "buy back", and any other variation with other characters between the words buy and back.
​
Note:
Keywords can be a word, or part of a word, or a phrase to match the announcement headlines.
Matching is not case-sensitive.
Changes to your alert configuration may take a few minutes to process and take effect, and you can change your configuration at any time.
Alerts are sent based on at least one match with entered symbols and/or keywords.
Contact us if you would like any further information.
Watchlist
You can choose to send alerts to your Email or Webhook. If you would like a break from receiving alerts, you can leave these options unticked - you will not receive any alerts, however, please note that billing will continue if you have subscribed.
​
Send Alerts to Webhook
Once you select this checkbox, it will open the verification section, and you can then add your Webhook URL to complete Webhook verification. See our instructions at Webhook How-To if you want to learn how to create a Webhook.
Please note: we currently only allow Webhooks from Slack and Discord - although we can add to this list based on demand.
​
Send Alerts to Email
If you select 'Send Alerts to Email', remember to check your Junk folder, and add our domain to your Safe Senders list - see Email How-To for more tips. Not that due to factors beyond our control, there may be occasional delays with receiving emails.
Send Alerts To...
The ASX (Australian Stock Exchange) uses a Price Sensitive flag to indicate announcements that they believe are likely to affect the share price.
You can add entries to your Watchlist that will filter announcements based on their Price Sensitive flag.
To receive all price sensitive announcements for a specific company, add -PS in a symbol entry. For example, CBA-PS will match all price sensitive announcements from CBA.
The alert content you receive will contain the text $PS to indicate a price sensitive alert.
