What are Custom Alerts?
Custom alerts let you set up notifications for your specific needs. For example, you can be notified any time:
A Line Producer gets attached to a production filming in your region
A project for your target studio or distributor gets greenlit
Custom Alerts are built from Saved Views, allowing you to track any combination of criteria available on the Production or Crew search pages.
How to Set Up a Custom Alert
There are two ways to create Custom Alerts in Pipeline.
Option 1: From the Production or Crew Search Page
You can create Custom Alerts directly from your Saved Views dropdown.
Go to the Productions or Crew search page.
Apply the filters that match what you want to track.
Save your filters as a Saved View, if you haven't already.
Open the Saved Views dropdown above the table.
Find your Saved View and select the bell icon to create a Custom Alert.
Your alert will now be active, and you'll receive email notifications when relevant changes occur.
Option 2: From Email Notification Settings
You can also create alerts from your account settings.
Go to the Productions or Crew search page.
Apply the filters you want to track and save them as a Saved View.
Navigate to My Account → Email Notification Settings.
Add a Custom Alert and select your Saved View.
Example: Line Producers in your region
On the Crew search page, filter by role (Line Producer) and your region.
Save the filter.
In My Account → Email Notifications, add a notification for that Saved View.
You'll now be notified when new crew match.
Example: Greenlit projects for a target studio
On the Production search page, filter by your target studio or distributor and by status (Greenlit).
Save the filter.
In My Account → Email Notification Settings, add a notification for that Saved View.
Managing your alerts
You can add or change alerts at any time under My Account → Email Notification Settings, or within the Saved Views on the Productions and Crew search pages.
