@dangeruss reported that @jokerzwild asked:
is there a way to use topic alerts like we could on FW?
For example, we could enter a subject “Fitbit” and get all Fitbit replies in any area we selected.
I wasn’t aware of the alert feature at FW (had the Kohl’s Official Thread permanently open on my mobile device because I found navigating the rest of the site to be cumbersome) but would love to see an alert feature here.
Is there any way to set up an alert system that would send a notification whenever a saved keyword or phrase is used in any post or tag, regardless of the category…perhaps would even group them all into a special “my favorite topics” page (with the option to clear items once read or expired)?
For example, any post mentioning Kohl’s or Home Depot or other stores where I frequently shop?
I’ve missed out on numerous deals because I didn’t see the post before the offer expired…
Case in point: a few days ago, I received a keyword search alert from eBay for something that I wanted to buy: I immediately went to the site and started to buy the item, but got interrupted/distracted before completing the purchase. Today, I remembered to complete the purchase (missing the 6% eBay Bucks promo that ended yesterday), only to discover just now that I could have more than compensated for yesterday’s loss of the bonus 5% with a $15 off $75 flash promo today… (insert wild, purple minion emoticon here)
