Stay informed without checking your dashboard all day

Keyhole’s notification settings help you track volume spikes, sentiment shifts, and key mentions—without constant manual checks. You’ll get real-time alerts and scheduled summaries, so you can act faster and keep your team in the loop.

What You Can Do with Notification Settings

  • Get alerts when sentiment shifts: Stay ahead of potential issues by monitoring increases in negative posts.

  • Spot high-impact moments: Be notified when verified users or high-engagement posts mention your tracked terms.

  • Track activity spikes as they happen: Know when post volume increases so you can react quickly.

  • Keep your team in the loop: Automatically send updates to colleagues, clients, or execs without needing them to log in.
