Set up notifications for a feed
Turn on Slack, Discord, email and webhook alerts for a feed. The feed's own filters, including Fit score, decide which new mentions are sent.
Last updated
Notifications in SnitchFeed belong to a feed, not to a listener. Each feed has its own channels, its own on/off switch and its own filters. A new mention is sent to a feed's channels only if it passes that feed's filters.
Turn on notifications for a feed
New feeds send nothing until you set them up.
- Open a saved feed and click Notifications in the top bar. You can also open the same dialog from the Notifications column on the Feeds page.
- Pick a tab: Slack, Discord, Email or Webhooks, and add at least one destination. See Slack, Discord, Email and Webhooks for each channel.
- Switch on Enable notifications. The switch stays off until a channel is configured.
- Click Save changes. Nothing is saved until you do.
A green check on a tab means that channel has at least one destination. If Enable notifications is off, the dialog shows a banner and no alerts are sent, even when channels are set up.
Saved feeds only
The Notifications button appears on saved feeds. To get alerts for a set of filters, save them as a feed first (see Create a feed).
The feed's filters decide what is sent
There is no separate alert threshold. The filters saved on the feed are the rule. Every filter you set must match, and inside one filter any selected value matches. An empty filter means no restriction.
Notifications use these filters:
- Fit score: High, Medium and Low
- Include Listeners and Exclude Listeners
- Platforms
- Include Intents and Exclude Intents
- Sentiment
- Include Keywords and Exclude Keywords
- Include Subreddits and Exclude Subreddits (Reddit posts only)
- Tracked Profiles
- Languages
These only change what you browse in the feed and do not affect alerts: Sort, Seen vs New, Date Posted, collections and the Engaged state.
To change what a feed sends, edit its filters in the feed and click Update Feed.
Fit score levels
| Level | Fit Score |
|---|---|
| High | 70% and above |
| Medium | 50% to 69% |
| Low | Below 50% |
For example, to get Slack pings only for strong matches, create a feed with Fit score = High, add your Slack channel in its notification settings and enable notifications. A mention with no score counts as Low.
A feed that SnitchFeed creates for a new listener starts with Fit score = Medium + High.
When alerts arrive
- Slack, Discord and webhooks fire as soon as a new mention is stored.
- Email is a digest on the schedule you choose. A mention is emailed once, even if several feeds match it.
- Alerts are not retroactive. They cover mentions that arrive after you save.
Personal summary emails
Separate from feed email, Workspace Settings → Notifications holds your own Daily digest and Weekly digest summary emails and their Timezone. They are not tied to any feed.
