Custom alerts
The default alerts cover the common cases. Custom alerts are for anything more specific — one mailbox, one kind of sender, your own wording, your own recipients. Build them on the Custom alerts tab of the Notifications screen (admins only).
Create one
Click Add a custom alert and fill in the builder:
- Rule Name — for your own list.
- Event Type — what triggers it: a sales-lead decision, a support-request decision, a needs-review decision, a mailbox disconnection, or an integration failure.
- Mailbox — all mailboxes, or just one.
- Delivery channel — Email, In-app (the bell), or Both.
- Recipients — comma-separated email addresses; custom alerts have their own recipients, independent of the default-alert bar.
- Subject and Email body — your wording.
- Min Confidence — only fire when the classification met this bar.
- Active — the on/off switch.
”Insert a detail”
Put live details from the triggering email into your subject or body: place your cursor where you want it, pick a detail from the Insert a detail menu, and a placeholder is inserted — filled in when the alert sends. Available details: sender email address, sender name, subject, detected category, confidence, the AI’s reasoning summary, a preview of the body, the mailbox, and when it was received.
Example subject: Priority lead: {{subject}} → “Priority lead: Quote for 200 units”.
(Note: the “Sender name” detail is derived from the sender’s email address, so
jane@acme.com renders as “jane” — use “Sender email address” when you want the full address.)
”Only notify when…” (conditions)
For the three email-triggered events you can add conditions — all must match:
- Sender is a priority customer / is known / is a customer (your sender labels)
- Sender domain equals …
- Detected category is …
- Subject contains … / Body contains …
Example: event = new lead, condition = sender is a priority customer, recipients = the sales lead’s address — a VIP-only ping that skips the noise.
Test, edit, pause, delete
Every custom alert card has four buttons: Test sends a sample email to the rule’s recipients right now (using made-up example data) so you can check the wording — the test goes by email only and skips the delivery log. Edit reopens the builder. Disable/Enable pauses without deleting. Delete removes it permanently.
