# Alert Words
|
||
|
|
Zulip allows you to define custom alert words and phrases.
|
||
|
|
When they are used in any stream you are subscribed to, it works
|
||
|
|
similarly to being [@-mentioned](/help/at-mention-a-team-member)
|
||
|
|
by another user.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Adding Alert Words
|
||
|
|
1. Click the cog () in the upper
|
||
|
|
right corner of the right sidebar.
|
||
|
|
2. Select **Settings** from the dropdown menu that appears.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. Scroll down until you reach the **Custom Alert Words** section.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4. Type the word/phrase you wish to be notified for into the text box,
|
||
|
|
then click the **Add Alert Word** button.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Once these steps are completed, you should see something similar to:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If any alert words are mentioned, they will be highlighted within the message,
|
||
|
|
and you will be alerted in accordance with your notification settings.
|
||
|

|
## Removing Alert Words
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Alert Words can be removed easily in the settings menu, by clicking the
|
||
|
|
red bin button ()
|
||
|
|
next to the word/phrase to be deleted.
