# Setting Up Alerts
> Learn how to set up alerts to track topic trends and discover new issues automatically.
The **Alerts** feature in Caplena helps you stay on top of emerging trends, spikes in feedback, and important changes in sentiment or topic frequency
## Types of Alerts
When you click **Create new alert**, you’ll be prompted to choose one of three options:
**Agent Prompt** *(featured)* Get AI-generated reports delivered on a schedule or on demand. Write a plain-language prompt describing what you want to know and how often, Caplena's agent will analyze your data and send you a report.
*Example prompt:* "Send me a weekly report on which topics changed most drastically."
**New Topics Alert** Get notified when brand-new topics emerge in your feedback, revealing early signs of market shifts, product issues, or opportunities.
**Topics Trend Alert** Stay ahead of trends by auto-detecting shifts in sentiment, mentions, or frequency. Customize thresholds or let auto-digest do the work.
## How to Set Up an Alert
* Go to your project and open the **Alerts** tab.
* Click **Create new alert**.
* Choose your alert type and click **Next**.
* Fill in the details and configure your schedule.
## Agent Prompt Alerts
This is the most flexible alert type. You write a custom prompt telling Caplena what to analyze and report on.
**Configuration options:**
* **Alert name** — Give your alert a descriptive name (e.g. "Weekly Pricing Changes Report").
* **Filters** — Scope the alert to specific segments of your data.
* **Alert prompt** — Write your instruction in plain language (up to 1,000 characters). Describe what to analyze, what to summarize, and any comparisons to make.
* **Schedule** — Choose *One off*, *Weekly*, *Monthly*, or *Quarterly*. For recurring schedules, set the day of week and hour.
* **Notification delivery** — Send to yourself or to someone else. The recipient becomes the alert owner if they're a member of your organization (see [Alert ownership](#alert-ownership)).
*Example prompt:* "Analyze the customer feedback and identify all mentions related to pricing changes. Summarize the key themes, sentiment, and frequency of pricing-related feedback. Compare the findings to the previous period."
**What You'll Receive**
Once your Agent Prompt alert runs, Caplena will send you a formatted email report tailored to your prompt. The agent decides the best way to present the findings — this could include narrative summaries, tables, breakdowns by segment, or a mix, depending on what makes most sense for the question you asked.
## Alert ownership
Each alert has an owner — by default, the user who created it. Ownership controls who can edit or delete an alert and where it appears.
**Visibility**
* **Project Alerts tab** — shows every alert configured on the project, regardless of owner. Use the **Owner** filter to narrow the list to a specific teammate.
* **Report Alerts tab** — shows only the alerts you own.
**Editing and deleting**
You can only edit or delete alerts you own. Alerts owned by other users are read-only for you. Ask the owner to make changes, or have them transfer ownership.
**Transferring ownership**
To hand an alert over to a teammate, edit it and set **Notification delivery** to their email address. If the recipient is a member of your organization, they automatically become the new owner and the alert moves to their Report Alerts tab.
