Are you scared of missing out on essential and your favorite topics? Have you wondered how to keep a date on topics, news, and events?
Well, Google now has a feature called Google Alerts that acts as a notification service for content on the web, topics, specific stories, places, etc.
It allows you to select your favorite topics and keywords, and then the Google app will alert you whenever it finds a matching query result on the web.
Isn’t it interesting? In this article, I will discuss setting up your Google Alerts and how to refine it further to get current alerts based on your favorite topics.
How to Set up Google Alerts to Recieve Specific Topics?
Google alerts have helped a lot of people to cut down on their fear of missing out.
It is interesting to know that you won’t miss out on your favorite topics after setting up your alerts.
With this, you can also cut down the amount of time you spend on social media canvassing for topics and news.
Follow the steps below:
First, you have to open the Google Alerts page on your mobile or desktop browser and then enter a topic of your choice.
For instance, “OnePlus 7 Pro” because you need to get more info about it. To refine the alert from that keyword, click “Show Options.”
Then, go through all the options and customize the alert filter. You can select ‘once a day’ to avoid too much clutter. And finally, click on the ‘Create Alert’ button, and you are all set to receive alerts.
To give you an idea of what you have done, the alert email below looks like.
You can choose to set Google Alert to be delivered at your own convenient time. All you have to do is, click on the gear icon and select the delivery time.
But in case you have multiple alerts, you can choose to gather all the alerts in a single digest email. Select the Digest option and click on the Save button.
Finally, once you are done, you can delete or customize the alerts by clicking on the buttons next to your alert topic.
You Can Be on Top Everything by Setting Up Your Google Alerts
That is my take on the Google Alert feature, which is not known to many users.
It is pretty useful for many things like the topic of interest (TV shows, gadgets, tech, etc.), earthquakes, impending tsunamis, etc.
And if you want full control over the contents and delivery time, a filter option is provided for that too.
It’s a useful feature; you can use it to streamline information in one place.
