🔒 Permissions
Creating and managing a shared alert is a privilege reserved for system administrators.
In Elium, you can set up alerts based on topics you wish to stay informed about. As an administrator, you have the ability to enhance individual alerts by transforming them into shared alerts.
Creating a Shared Alert
The first step for an administrator who wants to create an alert is to establish a personal alert.
After programming your personal alerts, you can share them with other members. Click on the 'Shared alerts' tab in the administration interface.
Create a new alert.
Select one of your saved searches and decide on the sending frequency (which may differ from the frequency you programmed).
Next, you can subscribe any user to these alerts by clicking on 'Subscribers'.
When Are Monthly Shared Alerts Sent?
If configured for monthly distribution, the shared alert will be sent on the first of each month.
About the Initial Configuration
When a shared alert is configured for the first time, only the content published between the creation date of the shared alert and the first period cycle will be considered.
Example: If you create a new monthly shared alert on the 24th of November based on several tags, this shared alert will be sent for the first time on the 1st of December, containing content published between the 24th of November and the 1st of December.
💡 Notes
You can set up your personal alerts and select the frequency 'Never', which allows you to create shared alerts for your users without receiving them yourself.
👍 Pro Tip
When you invite or create new users on the platform, make sure to subscribe them to relevant shared alerts!
