There are three different types of alets on PolicyMogul.

Setting up email alerts with PolicyMogul is simple. By default, you'll receive:

You can customise your email alerts at any time on the email alerts page.

Choosing the right frequency for email alerts

You can choose from three different alert frequencies in PolicyMogul:

Immediate alerts

You'll receive an email alert as soon as a piece of content matches the keywords or phrases in your topic. We recommend immediate alerts for topics containing only mentions of your organisation name, or other highly-focussed keywords or phrases.

We would not suggest including broad keywords such as 'tax', 'plastic' or 'education' in immediate email alerts, because you'll receive too many emails. For these broader interests, best practice is to create a separate topic with a daily or weekly digest.

Daily digest (on by default)

You'll receive a daily digest of all content that matches the keywords or phrases in your topics, at the time you choose. We recommend daily digests for topics which represent your core interests, such as keywords which describe your industry and competitors.

Weekly digest

You'll receive a weekly digest of all content that matches the keywords or phrases in your topic, on the day and time you choose. We recommend weekly digests for topics which represent your peripheral interests, to ensure you don't miss anything whilst avoiding information overload.

Note that digest emails are only sent if new relevant content has been added to PolicyMogul since your last email alert

For each email alert, you can also choose which resources you want to include:

The week ahead: Sent on Mondays around midday, this alert includes details of the upcoming week's business at Westminster and the devolved parliaments.

The day ahead: Sent on Tuesday to Friday mornings, this alert provides the most recently updated information on the day's business at Westminster and the devolved parliaments.

Westminster business: Sent on Thursday afternoons, this alert offers a detailed overview of the scheduled business at Westminster for the next two weeks.

Note that these emails include all political events, regardless of whether they are related to your chosen topics. If you would like to only see upcoming political events that are relevant to your topics, you can select the button 'only send diary emails that contain events relevant to me, based on my topics'.

PolicyMogul provides the option to receive email alerts for all major announcements, including events such as the King's Speech, Budget announcements, parliamentary recesses, and ministerial appointments.

We recommend keeping this feature enabled to stay informed, but you have the option to turn it off if preferred.

If you believe there are additional announcements that should be included in this category, please let us know.
