Team Alerts push the Signals that matter out to your team, so the important stuff finds people instead of waiting to be discovered. They’re workspace-level and rule-based: you decide which kinds of Signals get broadcast and where they go. Set them up in Settings → Alerts.

​
What you can broadcast

Turn on the alert types you want Lane to send:
  • Top priority Signals — the highest-priority Signals as they surface. The default heads-up for “something important just came in.”
  • For You Signals — Signals that match your workspace Context — priority, tiers, and risk. A tighter feed of what’s relevant to your current focus.
Each type is its own rule with its own master toggle, so you can run just the high-priority alert, just the context-matched one, or both.

​
Where alerts go

Each rule delivers to the channels you add under Sending to:
  • Slack — real-time. Connect a Slack workspace and pick the channel each alert posts to. Lane asks for a minimal scope — enough to list channels and post messages, nothing more.
  • Email — a digest on a cadence you choose, weekly or monthly, for a rounded-up read rather than a live feed.
You can send a rule to Slack, email, or both. An enabled rule with no channel simply waits until you add one.

​
Team Alerts vs Personal Notifications

These are different systems for different jobs:
  • Team Alerts are a workspace broadcast about Signals — the same alert goes to a shared Slack channel or digest for everyone watching.
  • Personal Notifications are your feed — mentions, replies, and updates to things you’re subscribed to.
Use Team Alerts to keep the team aware of what’s surfacing; use Personal Notifications to stay on top of your own threads.

FAQs

Q: How is a Team Alert different from a personal notification?
A: Team Alerts broadcast Signals to a shared Slack channel or email digest for the whole team. Personal Notifications are per-user and cover mentions and subscribed updates. Q: What decides which Signals a “For You” alert sends?
A: Your workspace Context — the same priority, tiers, and churn-risk inputs that drive the For You tab on Signals. Q: Can I get alerts in real time and as a digest?
A: Yes — add both channels to a rule. Slack delivers in real time; email arrives as a weekly or monthly digest.
