What is Your Recommended Reads?
Select users will receive a weekly Recommended Reads digest delivered directly to their email.
The Recommended Reads digest is a personalized list of documents sent to you based on your interests by analyzing preferences from your dashboard, alerts, watchlists, and aggregated document readership.
Your Recommended Reads email will be segmented into 5 buckets:
Dashboard Selection: Documents based on topics, industries, and companies that you have pre-selected
Alert Settings: Documents, related to your alerts selection, that you have not already read
Watchlist: Documents from your most active watchlists. Your recommendations will only include the companies with the most activity
Related Companies: Documents from secondary or adjacent companies based on the companies you follow
Related Industries: Documents from secondary or adjacent industries based on the companies you follow
As a reminder, all recommendations are customized to your interests and completely private and confidential. Your information is exclusive to your account and will not be shared with other users.

After running a search, create your Alert by selecting the green Create Alert For This Search button.
Select the desired frequency, whether that’s real-time, multiple times a day or weekly, and name the alert.
AlphaSense will deliver email alerts based on your search criteria with highlighted statements, meaningful context, and links that bring you back to that document in the AlphaSense platform, allowing you to quickly react to the news that triggered the alert
To edit your alert:
