email alerts

Digital message pings

Email alerts are automated notifications sent to an inbox when specified conditions are met.

Users set them up to monitor news topics, price changes, account activity, or system events: I have email alerts for any mention of my company.

They function as a passive surveillance tool—you don't have to keep checking because the information comes to you.
