===== Creating Alerts =====

Once you found the optimal search queries after reducing the false positives you are ready to create automatic alerts. Alerts can be delivered in three different ways:

  * **EMAIL**: Via Email using the email address used for the login or the one you specified in the onboarding
  * **API**: Via [[api|API]]
  * **DASHBOARD**: On the dashboard inside the alert widget (1) or under the menu "my alerts" (2)

===== Setting up alerts inside the modules =====

Each module has different alerting features. Here two examples:


**Leak Alerts**

Based on specific search results you are able to create alerts. Please click "create alerts" in the navigation menu (1) and select the alert type:

You can create alerts based on any search you used in Kaduu by selecting the menu item "create alerts":

{{::create_alerts_domains.png?900|}}

Depening on the search, you can create different alert types:

**Domain alerts**

In order to define alerts you first have to make a selection in the results. You will see different menu options:

  * Track new results for current search query: We will alert you, if for the exact same search query new findings are recorded. The existing findings will not be pushed via alerting
  * Track new domains similar to selected domains: We will use the levensthein distance to alert you, if a similar domain appears in the future
  * Track changes for the selected domains: If any DNS record changes (e.g. WHOIS data), we will notify you
  * Track new leaks and accounts containing selected domains: We will create an alert, if a leak or account appears with the domain you selected.
