Notifications & Alerts

Monitor regulatory content and news by creating custom alerts. You can add any number of custom alerts based on search criteria to identify specific sets of documents that impact your business. Once you’ve established your alerts, you won’t need to search again because you’ll be notified automatically once new documents that meet your alert criteria are published.

Need help defining alerts for critical aspects of financial product, operational, risk and compliance management? Try using Compliance.ai’s out-of-the box Concept alerts. Select the Concepts that are of interest to you in Default Filters > Topics, then access on the Concepts tab within Notifications.

Creating a New Alert

Step 1:

Select Filter in the search bar and enter search criteria using parameters such as Agency, Jurisdiction, Dates, and free text entry fields such as Title and Full Text, then click Search.

Please refer to our Basic and Advanced Search Guide for tips on how to optimize your search results.

Step 2:

Check your search results, and once you’re satisfied that you’re receiving the expected results, click “Turn on Alerts” located to the right, below the Search Bar.

Turn on Alerts

Please note: Depending on your search and filter criteria, there might not be any documents listed, yet. This can happen, for example, for new regulatory topics and upcoming legislation. However, if you are expecting some results to be shown, then it is likely you have a conflicting item selected in your filter.

For example: If you select Document Type “Rule” and conduct a Title search for something that is currently only a Proposed Rule, no results will be returned. Once the Rule is published, you will receive an alert.

Step 3:

Save your Search and click “Create.” Then save the alert. It will automatically be populated with the keywords listed in the Search bar, you can rename the alert without affecting the search criteria.
