Custom notifications are live!

Trackr can now send notifications using webhooks! You have complete flexibility in how you set this up - use our simple Slack app guide, Zapier for advanced features, or any other webhook-capable platform.

Trackr currently offers three types of notifications:

• Top Posts (Weekly) allows you to receive an alert once a week with the top posts matching the metric of your choice! Choose the number of posts and the metric you're interested in, as well as the day of the week you want to receive the alert. Great for client-facing channels! (Sent at 9 AM PST.)

• Top Posts (Daily) allows you to the set up the same alert as weekly, but on the daily level instead. Great for internal-facing channels! (Sent at 9 AM PST.)

• Threshold Hit (On Sync) notifications are for keeping track of breakout posts and staying alerted each and every time a post passes a given threshold. Great for setting up bounties, or iterating quickly on top-performing campaigns.
