How alerts are generated
What triggers an alert, how alerts are prioritised, and how to manage them.
Alerts are how Senserity tells you when something has changed for a company on your watchlist. They appear in the top bar and on the Alerts page.
What triggers an alert
An alert is generated when a re-enrichment run produces a different result from the previous run for a test that meets the alert threshold. Not every change produces an alert; only changes that are significant enough to warrant your attention.
The conditions that trigger an alert include:
A test changes from pass to fail. If a test that previously passed now fails, an alert is generated. The severity of the alert matches the severity of the test, so a critical test failure generates a critical alert.
A test changes from fail to pass. If a finding is resolved (a CCJ is satisfied, a sanctions match is cleared, an overdue filing is submitted) an alert is generated to tell you the risk has been removed.
The overall risk score changes significantly. A large movement in a company's overall score generates an alert even if no individual test changed state, because it indicates a meaningful shift in the profile.
A new enrichment data point appears. New director appointments, new charges registered, new gazette notices, and similar events generate alerts when they first appear in the enriched data.
Alert severity
Alerts use the same severity levels as tests: Critical, High, Medium, Low, and Info. The severity of an alert is determined by the severity of the test or finding that triggered it.
Critical and High alerts are shown in the top-bar counter. The counter badge on the shield icon in the top bar shows the number of unread Critical and High alerts across your entire watchlist.
Reading and managing alerts
Alerts appear on the Alerts page, which you can reach from the top bar or the sidebar. By default, the page shows your most recent unread alerts.
Each alert card shows the company name, the finding that changed, the severity, and when it occurred. Clicking an alert takes you to the relevant test result on the company's profile.
You can mark alerts as read individually or in bulk. Marking an alert as read removes it from the unread count but keeps it in the history. You can filter to show read or unread alerts and filter by company, category, or severity.
Alerts vs reviews
Alerts are system-generated notifications about changes in enriched data. Reviews are human-generated discussions about specific findings. The two are separate but linked. You can open a review from any alert, and the review thread is attached to the specific test result.
See Opening and resolving a review for more on the review workflow.
Alert history
Senserity keeps your full alert history. You can scroll back through the Alerts page to see everything that has changed for your watchlist companies over time. The Timeline tab on any company profile also shows the event history for that company specifically.
