# 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
|
|
|
|
{!go-to-the.md!} [Custom alert words](/#settings/custom-alert-words)
|
|
{!settings.md!}
|
|
|
|
2. Type the word/phrase you wish to be notified for into the **New alert word**
|
|
text box. (e.g. "Downtime")
|
|
|
|
3. Click on the **Add alert word** button to save it.
|
|
|
|
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](/#settings/notifications).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
!!! tip ""
|
|
Alert words/phrases are matched case-insensitive, meaning you don't have to
|
|
care about capitalization when defining them.
|
|
|
|
## Removing alert words
|
|
|
|
Alert words can be removed with ease in the settings menu, by clicking the trash
|
|
(<i class="icon-vector-trash"></i>) icon left of the alert word/phrase to be
|
|
deleted.
