Alert

Keyword Customization: Within the Alert page, you can define keywords that are of particular importance to you. These keywords could include but are not limited to, terms like "help," "emergency," or any other specific phrases relevant to your context.

Centralized Information: The system not only sends you an alert but also archives the details of the triggered alerts. This information is accessible in the "Alerts" tab.

Key Capabilities of Alert:

• Keyword Customization: Set up to 10 unique keywords (like "help" or "emergency") that are important to you.

  1. Perfect Match:

     • Specify your keyword as is (e.g., "test").

     • Receive alerts only when an exact match is found in the transcription.

  2. Wildcard Matching:

     • Use '?' to match a single character and '*' to match any number of characters.

     • Example: "te?t" will match "test" or "text."

  3. Length-Based Matching:

     • Specify the exact length of the matched word.

     • Example: "la??" will match "lake" but not "lakes."

• Real-time Message Scanning: The system constantly checks messages on designated docks for your specified keywords.

• Automated Email Alerts: Receive email notifications whenever a message contains any of your keywords, detailing the message, dock, and keyword that triggered the alert.

Setting Up a New Alert:

1. Click "Create" to begin creating a new alert setup.

2. Alert name: Provide a name for the group of keywords.

3. Keyword: Set up to 10 unique keywords (such as "help" or "emergency") that are important to you. You can do that by pressing enter or separating them with commas.

4. Dock: After configuring the keywords, proceed to select the appropriate dock to which these keywords will be assigned.

5. Alert: Select the email where you would like to receive the alert.

6. Active: When the active mode is on, alerts will be triggered. When it's off, no alerts will be captured for those keywords.

The system will automatically generate alert notifications in the form of email messages.

These notifications will be dispatched to the designated email address tied to the specified dock, offering prompt and contextualized updates when any of the configured keywords are detected.

You can also access these alerts in the "Alerts" tab.

Ensure "Auto Transcription" is activated on your dock for accurate keyword detection in Dock Settings. Follow these steps: My Docks -> Settings -> More Settings -> Audio to Text (enable).

The "Manage" tab is where you can view, edit, and manage all your created alerts.
