Automate actions
Alert rules
Keyword, category, or source error → webhook or email.
Console → Automate → Alerts. Rules run in the fetcher when a match happens. They are not workflows. For every new item, use Workflows.
Example: email on keyword
Use these values on New alert. They match the placeholders on the form.
