Learn the what, why, & how of Newsfeed/Email alerts, and best practices for taking action once you've received an alert.
With Sales Navigator alerts, you're always in the know on changing roles, leadership hires, and company announcements.
The best place to track alerts is the Sales Navigator homepage. Within the 'All alerts' section, you’ll see when leads and accounts are researching your company, experiencing hiring trends (increased, decreased, layoffs), or notable job changes (new leadership, lead changed roles).
When you do see an alert that’s relevant, take action.

- If they’ve been researching your company—follow up.
