Setting Up Notifications
Never miss what matters — Quarterback can email you when your share price moves, sentiment spikes, media articles appear, or activity volume changes. Set up a few key notifications and you'll have a daily pulse on your company without needing to log in.
What You'll Need
Before setting up notifications, make sure:
- Your company profile is configured with an ASX code
- You have email addresses for anyone who should receive alerts
- Optional: A configured benchmark for unusual price movement alerts
Creating Your First Notification
- Navigate to Notifications in the sidebar
- Click New Alert
- Choose an alert type — Real-time Alerts on the left, Scheduled Summaries on the right
- Configure the trigger condition or schedule
- Add one or more email recipients
- Click Save
Recommended Starting Alerts
If you're not sure where to begin, start with these three:
Daily Recap
A comprehensive daily email delivered at a time you choose. Includes share price, sentiment score, activity count, AI-generated summary, and notable activities from the day.
| Setting | Recommended |
|---|---|
| Time | 6:00 PM (after market close) |
| Timezone | Australia/Sydney |
The Daily Recap is the single most useful notification — it gives you a complete daily pulse without needing to log in.
Media Activity
Triggers whenever a new media article is published about your company. No threshold to configure — you'll be notified of every article with its sentiment score and a direct link.
This ensures you never miss news coverage and can respond quickly when needed.
Price Movement
Triggers when your share price moves beyond a set percentage from the opening price during trading hours.
| Setting | Recommended |
|---|---|
| Threshold | 5–10% depending on your stock's typical volatility |
For a more sophisticated statistical approach, consider Unusual Price Movement instead — it uses Z-score analysis to detect movements that are abnormal relative to the market, accounting for your stock's typical volatility.
All Alert Types
| Type | Category | What It Does |
|---|---|---|
| Price Movement | Real-time | Triggers on percentage moves from open |
| Unusual Price Movement | Real-time | Triggers on statistically abnormal returns (Z-score) |
| Sentiment | Real-time | Triggers when activity sentiment exceeds a threshold |
| Activity Level | Real-time | Triggers when activity volume spikes compared to previous period |
| Broad Search | Real-time | Triggers when activities match a keyword using AI semantic search |
| Media Activity | Real-time | Triggers on every new media article |
| Daily Recap | Scheduled | AI-generated daily summary email |
| Weekly Recap | Scheduled | AI-generated weekly summary email |
See Notifications for full details on each type, including configuration options and how they work.
Managing Your Notifications
All configured alerts appear as cards on the Notifications → Rules tab. From here you can:
- Edit any alert by clicking its card — change thresholds, recipients, or schedules
- Pause/Resume using the toggle on each card — pausing stops the alert without deleting it
- Delete an alert from within the edit form
