Saved Searches
​Creating Alerts

Saved Searches

Saved searches are a great way of saving large sets of parameters. Allowing you to jump back to the content pertinent to you and your team later on.

Firstly navigate to the New Monitoring module >

In the example below, I have already chosen a few filters. Refer to THIS article for navigating and filtering your coverage. I have selected filters and have the set of coverage I want to see in the future. Notice how many filters I have applied:

To run this again in the future may be time consuming, so to save time, click "Save Search" along the top and name it:

The next time you click into the platform, this search will be available in the "Show Saved Searches" section (on the top right hand side):

You then have a few options:
​

Run Search - To view the coverage generated, then run reports as usual.

View/Update - Allows you to amend the search; you can see all the filters you have chosen and Update Search after you have made amendments:

Remove - To delete the saved search.

Creating Alerts

Alerts are a great way of keeping informed of the coverage important to you, on an hourly, daily and weekly basis.

Alerts utilise Saved Searches so you will need to either have completed the first steps above, or contacted [email protected] to arrange set up.

Firstly click the Cog wheel up in the top right hand corner of the Vuelio platform, then click News Alerts:

Here you can see I have already created a previous alert which can be deleted, edited and copied.


For now just click New Alert:

  1. Name the search.

  2. Subject Line of the email generated.

  3. Comments for the email generated.

  4. Select the relevant Saved Search to use.

  5. Choose the From date to start alerting (it defaults to the day you create the alert.

  6. Choose from Hourly, Weekly (or days of the week) and Immediate (whenever an item of coverage matches the parameters set it will send this through individually).

  7. The times you wish to receive the alert(s).

    Select "Email Settings" at the top of the page.

    1. Who the alert is going to.

    2. Who the alert is from.

    3. The name of where this should be send from.

    4. Template of the alert, Click HERE for a guide showcasing our pre populated templates.

    5. Total number of articles in the alert.

    6. If this box is checked is will send you an empty email if there is nothing new since the last alert.

    7. If you would like a contents page check this box.

    8. You may sort the alert content, Ascending/ Descending by Publication Date, Creation Date, Headline and Rank.

    9. If you select Grouping, you can group in different ways; Source (Media Type), Tag/Tag Group, Country to name a few.

    10. Leave this box checked to deduplicate articles with the same headline (your email will confirm how many other instances there were).

    11. Select the metrics you wish to include in the alert.

    12. Select the items you wish to include in the alerts.

Finally click "Preview And Activate" at the top. You will have the option of sending a preview to yourself, then checking the box to Activate the email alert.

Remember to click "Save" on the top right hand side, and your alert is created!
