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 by another user.

Adding alert words

{!go-to-the.md!} Custom alert words {!settings.md!}

  1. Type the word/phrase you wish to be notified for into the New alert word text box. (e.g. "Downtime")

  2. Click on the Add alert word button to save it.

Once these steps are completed, you should see something similar to:

Alert settings

If any alert words are mentioned, they will be highlighted within the message, and you will be alerted in accordance with your notification settings.

Highlighted message

!!! 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 () icon left of the alert word/phrase to be deleted.
