Filter Notifications: FAQ's
"Why did I receive a notification even though I disabled them?"

Alerts depend solely on the schedule that is set. If notifications are set to be delivered on Saturday, but the filter notifications are not disabled until Friday, then you will receive all of the events that fell into the saved filter criteria from the prior Sunday-Thursday.

In this case, we suggest setting notifications to in real-time, as this can be disabled at any time and no notifications will be sent after disabling.


"I have my filter notifications set to notify me once daily, Mon-Fri at 9:00 AM - 9:30 AM. However, I receive notifications outside of this scheduled time, sometimes much later than 9 AM. Why is this?"

Adding an alert schedule to the once daily frequency may throw off the calculation for these alerts. Updating the frequency to in real-time at 9:00 AM - 9:30 AM Mon-Fri will ensure you are only receiving notifications during this time.
