How to set up Alerts

Short answer

Open Alerts in your dashboard, choose what you want to monitor, select a frequency, and save the Alert. TechLeads.fyi will notify you by email and inside your dashboard when matching changes are found.

Step 1: Choose what you want to monitor

Start with one clear signal.

For example:

• New websites using Shopify

• New websites using WooCommerce

• Websites adding Klaviyo

• A group of domains changing technologies

• Business websites matching a specific technology

The more specific your Alert is, the easier it is to act on the results.

Step 2: Add filters if needed

Depending on the Alert type, you may be able to narrow results using filters such as:

• Technology

• Country

• Keyword

• TLD

• Business website signals

Use filters when you want fewer but more relevant results.

Step 3: Choose frequency

You can choose:

• Daily

• Weekly

• Monthly

Daily is useful for sales teams and fast-moving campaigns. Weekly is usually best for founders and small teams. Monthly is better for research or light monitoring.

Step 4: Choose notifications

Alerts are sent through:

• Email

• Dashboard notifications

Use email if you want to react quickly. Use dashboard notifications if you prefer reviewing all matches in one place.

Step 5: Review and improve

After your Alert runs a few times, check the quality.

Ask:

• Are the matches relevant?

• Are there too many results?

• Are there too few results?

• Should I add or remove filters?

• Is the frequency right?

If the Alert is too noisy, make it narrower. If it is too quiet, remove some filters.

Plan limits

Alert limits depend on your plan:

• Free: 50 monitored items

• Founder/Growth: 1,000 monitored items

• Business: 100,000 monitored items

Best practice

Create Alerts around your best sales angles, not around every interesting technology.

For example, “Shopify + Klaviyo” may be more useful than just “ecommerce”.
