How to configure an alert 

Once you’ve created and saved a search in Pulse, you can configure alerts so Pulse automatically emails you when new results appear. This guide explains both ways to set up, modify, and stop alerts.

Step 1: Open the Configure Alert modal

You can access the Configure Alert window in two ways:

Option 1 – From a Newly Saved Search

  1. After saving your search, you’ll land on the Results page.

  2. At the bottom of the page, you’ll see the Action Bar hovering across the screen.

  3. Click Configure Alert (lightning bolt icon).

  4. This opens the Configure Alert modal, where you’ll set the alert schedule and preferences.

Tip: This is the fastest route to setting up alerts immediately after creating a new search.

Option 2 – From the Searches Tab

  1. In the side navigation, click Searches.

  2. Under Active Searches, find the saved search you want to set alerts for.

  3. Click the Configure Alert icon next to it.

  4. The same Configure Alert modal opens here.

Both methods open the exact same configuration window.

Step 2: Set your alert frequency

Inside the Configure Alert modal, you’ll choose how often you want to receive updates.
Pulse offers flexible scheduling options:

  • Immediate: Sends alerts as soon as new results are published (often aligned with exchange open times).

  • Daily: Sends one consolidated email each day.

    • You can include weekends — in which case, Saturday and Sunday results are combined and sent on Monday.

  • Weekly: Choose one or multiple days of the week for your alert to be sent.

  • Monthly: Select a specific day of the month and a time to receive your alert.

  • None: Disables alerts for that search (no emails will be sent).

You can also choose:

  • Time zone – for accurate delivery in your region.

  • Time of day – when you’d like the alert to be sent.

Tip: If you work across regions, align the time zone with the market you’re monitoring (e.g., Perth for ASX, Toronto for TSX).

Step 3: Modify or Stop an Alert

To change an existing alert, you can access it in two ways:

Option 1 – From Active Searches

  1. Go to Searches → Active Searches.

  2. Click the Configure Alert icon beside the search.

  3. The modal opens showing your current settings.

  4. Adjust frequency, time zone, or delivery times as needed.

  5. Click Save.

Option 2 – From the Saved Search results page

  1. Open the saved search results.

  2. In the Action Bar at the bottom, click the blue lightning bolt icon.

  3. Select Modify Alert.

  4. The same configuration modal appears.

  5. Update and click Save.

To stop receiving alerts altogether:

  • Open the Configure Alert modal again.

  • Under Frequency, choose None.

  • Click Save.
    Pulse will stop sending emails but retain your saved search for future use.

Step 4: Confirm your alerts are active

Once saved, active alerts will show as enabled next to your saved search under Active Searches.
You’ll receive your first alert email at the next scheduled time.

Note: You can edit or pause alerts anytime — Pulse keeps your configuration saved even when alerts are off.
