You can change the timezone in the email subject and in the "detected time" shown in the email body at the partner level by raising a support ticket. It is not configurable in the user interface.
Enablement note: To learn more about getting this capability enabled in your environment, please work with your Success Manager.
Customize mailing details
This option is selected by default –
Add custom subject line: Enter a custom subject for easy identification of alert email.
Sender email address: Enter an email address of your organization or group which will appear as an alias for easy identification of email.
Refine alert e-mail based on other parameters
Select this checkbox to further refine the alerts which you receive in your inbox. The following options can be chosen from:
Mentions: Get an alert on an anomaly where the mentions count matches the entered condition.
Alert Severity: Severity is a system-assigned value for each anomaly that is proportional to the variation in a trend shift. The bigger the shift, the higher the severity rating of the alert. Severity is assigned on a scale of 1 to 10. This is not applicable for the Engagement Alert type.
Alert Longevity: Longevity is used to measure the persistence of anomalies. If longevity is set to greater than 2, you will get alerted as soon as three alerts are detected on the trend of your set dimensions. This is not applicable for Average Star Rating Alert and Average Experience Score Alert types in Location Insights and Product Insights modules.
Alert Severity Increase: Get notified only when the severity of an anomaly is higher than the last detected anomaly.
Total Retweets: Get alerted on anomalies in engagement trends of tweets for which the retweet count matches the set condition. Only applicable for Engagement Alert type in the Listening module
Retweets Gained: Refine your alerts by focusing only on Tweets that have gained a fixed number of retweets from the last time. Only available for Engagement Alert type in the Listening module
Add to queue
Click the checkbox to enable this option –
Partner queue: To add the Smart Alert into a partner queue, select the desired pre-configured queue. You can select multiple partner queues here.
Client queue: To add the Smart Alert to a client queue, select the desired pre-configured queue. You can select multiple client queues here.
Choose entity combination
From the Create Smart Alert window, you can create alerts in two ways –
Alert on individual entities
Alert on all entities combined
These two ways are customized for each module. This section will cover how both of these configurations work for each module – Listening, Location Insights, and Product Insights.
For Listening
If you choose this option, a separate alert will be created for –
Each Topic (if you select topic conditions)
Each Theme (if you select theme conditions)
Each Topic and Theme combination (if you select both topic and theme conditions)
To explain this further, below are 3 possible scenarios –
Scenario 1: If you create an alert with a Topic containing Air Arabia, Air France, then you will get two alerts – one for each topic.
Scenario 2: If you create an alert with a Theme containing Customer Service, Damaged Baggage, then you will get two alerts – one for each theme.
Scenario 3: If you create an alert with the below conditions –
In Scenario 3, there are four possible combinations. You will get four different alerts; one for each combination –
One alert for (Air Arabia AND Customer Service)
One alert for (Air Arabia AND Damaged Baggage)
One alert for (Air France AND Customer Service)
One alert for (Air France AND Damaged Baggage)
Note: The above behavior remains the same when you choose Topic Group, Topic Tag, or Theme Tag and use the option – Alert on Individual Topics and Themes.
If you choose this option, a separate alert will be created for
All Topics (if you select topic conditions)
All Themes (if you select theme conditions)
All combinations of Topics and Themes (if you select both topic and theme conditions)
To explain this further, below are 3 possible scenarios:
Scenario 1: If you create an alert with a Topic containing Air Arabia, Air France, then you will get one alert for all mentions from both topics combined.
Scenario 2: If you create an alert with a Theme containing Customer Service, Damaged Baggage, then you will get one alert for all mentions from both the themes combined.
Scenario 3: If you create an alert with the below conditions –
In Scenario 3, there is a single time series configured which triggers one alert with the Boolean equivalent of:
One Alert for – (Air Arabia AND Customer Service) OR (Air Arabia AND Damaged Baggage) OR (Air France AND Customer Service) OR (Air France AND Damaged Baggage).
For Product/Location Insights
The below logic works for the Product Insights and Location Insights alerts. For example, let us assume that a brand has 10 products configured –
