This feature is available to Knoema Professional subscribers.
Data alerts allow you to stay informed of fluctuations of critical indicators. For example, you may want to receive alerts when the US unemployment rate, Brent oil price, or EUR/USD breaks a particular threshold.
With Knoema, you can set up data alerts for a particular time series in a dataset or for indicators in the World Data Atlas.
To set up a data alert in a dataset open it in the Dataset Viewer, make a selection, and click Data Alert (bell icon).
In the menu, choose a time-series (if you have several selected), set a condition which will trigger an alert ('is less than' or 'is more than'), and specify a threshold. For example, if you want to receive an alert when the US jobless claims drop below 200 thousand, the data alert setting should look like this:
Set alerts the same way in the World Data Atlas.
Once you set up an alert, you will receive an e-mail notification each time an indicator breaks a specified threshold.
You can manage all of your alerts in Notification Settings to remove, adjust conditions, and change notification frequency.
