Note: Integrating internal content in AlphaSense is currently only available within our Enterprise Intelligence offering. If you'd like to learn more, please reach out to your Account Owner or via Live Help in AlphaSense.

To email content into AlphaSense, send an email from the email address associated with your AlphaSense account. Create auto-forwarding rules to automate and scale this process for certain emails.

Once emailed in, your email will be available for viewing in the My Content or Integrations page in AlphaSense. AlphaSense will automatically recognize and tag companies in your content for you. However, if you wish to tag your notes manually, include the "$" prefix with a ticker in your email.

Expert tip: Add the 2-letter country code suffix for securities outside the US.
