# Team Alerts

> Proactive workspace broadcasts — Lane pushes the Signals worth the team's attention to Slack or an email digest, so nobody has to be watching.

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](/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](/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](/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](/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.
