Signing Up for Alerts


Once you’ve signed up for a Google Account You can sign up for Google alerts directly from your Google Account page or from the Google Alerts home page. To create an alert, follow these steps:

  1. Look for the Alerts link in the Try something new section to create new alerts, and when you already have alerts, click the Alert link in the My Services section. You can also create or add alerts from Google E-mail Alert accounts. Go to the Google Alerts home page by clicking the More link on the Google home page, then click Even More, then Alerts. If you are not signed into your Google account automatically, type your user name and password, and click the Sign in button.

  2. From the Manage your Alerts page you can create a new alert and see a list of alerts previously created by you. Enter search terms in the Search terms box. Select a search term as though you were doing a Google search in a normal Google search box.

  3. Select the Google services you would like to search in order to receive an alert from the Type selection list. Choose: News, Blogs, Web, Groups, or to search all of them, Comprehensive.

  4. Select how often you want to receive the alert by choosing a frequency from the How often selection list.

  5. Click Create Alert.

Once you complete this brief process you begin receiving alerts according to the schedule you specified.

Tip 

Begin by choosing to receive the alert “as it happens.” If you receive too many alert e-mail messages, you can modify the alert frequency.
