Team-wide macro alerts — one trigger, everyone notified, instantly.
Collaborative Alerts extend Live Data Pulse to entire teams. Instead of individual alerts going to one person, Collaborative Alerts notify your entire team — via email, Slack, or in-app notifications — when critical macro datasets update.
This is essential for trading desks, macro research teams, and policy units where everyone needs to see the same signals at the same time. When CPI drops, unemployment moves, or Fed policy shifts, your entire team gets the alert simultaneously — no forwarding, no delays, no missed signals.
Think of it as "team watchlist + team alerts" — keeping everyone aligned on what matters, when it matters.
Team-wide distribution
One alert triggers notifications to all team members simultaneously. Perfect for trading desks, macro teams, and policy units.
Multi-channel delivery
Deliver alerts via email, Slack, Microsoft Teams, or in-app notifications. Choose per-alert or per-user preferences.
Threshold-based triggers
Set alerts like "Notify team if CPI MoM > 0.3%" or "Alert if unemployment changes by ≥0.2pp" — smart, not noisy.
Contextual messages
Each alert includes: dataset name, latest value, change vs prior, timestamp, IQ Score, and one-click link to DataSetIQ for deeper analysis.
Role-based subscriptions
Optionally restrict alerts by role: "All Editors get CPI alerts, Admins only get Fed policy alerts, Viewers get nothing." Flexible and granular.
Alert history and audit log
See complete history of alerts: when triggered, who received, who acknowledged. Perfect for compliance and post-mortems.
Trading Desk Alert: CPI drops at 8:30 AM EST. Collaborative Alert triggers instantly → entire desk (12 people) gets Slack notification → traders react within seconds → no manual forwarding, no delay.
Research Team Morning Routine: Set Collaborative Alert for "Any dataset in 'Core US Macro' watchlist updates overnight." Team arrives Monday morning → sees one Slack message with 5 updates → everyone knows what moved.
Policy Unit Real-Time Monitoring: Central bank policy unit sets threshold alert: "Notify team if Fed Funds Rate changes." Alert triggers during FOMC announcement → entire unit notified instantly for rapid analysis.
Client Service Coordination: Set Collaborative Alert for datasets clients care about (e.g., "US unemployment, Eurozone GDP"). When alert triggers, entire client service team knows to expect client calls — everyone prepared.
Weekend Coverage: Junior analyst is on weekend duty. Collaborative Alert triggers for key dataset. Alert goes to junior analyst + senior PM (backup). If junior analyst doesn't acknowledge in 15 minutes, PM steps in.
A macro trading desk at a hedge fund has 15 people: 10 traders, 4 analysts, 1 head of desk. They track 20 core macro datasets (CPI, unemployment, GDP, PMIs, Fed policy, etc.) and need instant awareness when key data drops.
They set up Collaborative Alerts for all 20 datasets with threshold triggers (e.g., "CPI MoM > 0.3% = alert"). Alerts deliver to Slack channel #macro-signals where entire desk is subscribed.
On December 12, 2024, CPI drops at 8:30 AM EST with MoM +0.4% (above threshold). Collaborative Alert triggers → all 15 people see Slack notification instantly → traders adjust positions within 60 seconds → analysts generate Research Briefs within 5 minutes → desk is aligned and reactive.
Without Collaborative Alerts, the workflow would be: one analyst sees data → manually posts to Slack → traders check Slack sporadically → 5-10 minute delay. Collaborative Alerts save 5+ minutes per key release — critical for trading edge.
Exclusive to Team plan. Integrates with Slack, Microsoft Teams, and email out of the box.
