# How to set up alerts

Alerts are useful to keeping track of when your brand, client's name, or other keywords are mentioned in any new podcast episode.

Rephonic monitors new episodes across its entire database of podcasts. It scans episodes transcripts, titles, and show notes to find matches for your keywords.

To set up an alert, go to your [Alerts configuration page](https://rephonic.com/account/alerts) and click on **Create an Alert.**

Enter the keyword or phrase (e.g. "climate change") you'd like to track. You'll see a preview of the results as you type.

If any matching episodes are found, you will be sent a daily/weekly email containing the most relevant new episodes that match your keyword.

## Advanced Search

You use the following search operators to narrow down your results:

| Description            | Example                                 |
| ---------------------- | --------------------------------------- |
| Either terms can match | `real OR estate`                        |
| Both terms must match  | `real AND estate`                       |
| Exact phrase           | `"real estate"`                         |
| Don't match            | `-investing`                            |
| Grouping               | `(real estate) OR (property investing)` |
