Scheduled Summaries

Not everyone wants real-time notifications for every signal. Scheduled summaries let you receive a digest of new signals at intervals that work for you.

Real-Time AlertsScheduled Summaries
Every signal triggers a notificationBatched into one digest
Good for high-priority leadsGood for general monitoring
Can cause notification fatiguePredictable, lower volume
Requires immediate attentionReview on your schedule

Best for:

  • Brand monitoring where urgency is lower
  • Team members who prefer batch review
  • Reducing notification noise
  • Situations where responding within hours (not minutes) is fine
  1. Go to Alerts → Notifications

  2. Click “Add Notification”

  3. Select “Email” as the type

    Scheduled summaries are delivered via email.

  4. Choose your schedule

    OptionWhen You’ll Receive
    DailyEvery morning (your timezone)
    WeeklyEvery Monday morning
  5. Enter the email address

    Where the summary should be sent.

  6. Name and save

    Give it a clear name like “Daily Lead Summary” or “Weekly Brand Digest.”

Each scheduled summary includes:

  • Signal count — How many new signals since the last summary
  • Top signals — Highest relevance scores first
  • Signal details — Title, content preview, platform, relevance score
  • Direct links — Click to view the original post or open in CatchIntent

After creating a scheduled notification:

  1. Go to Listeners
  2. Edit the listener you want to summarize
  3. In the alerts section, select your scheduled notification
  4. Save the listener

The listener’s signals will be included in that summary.

You can create different summaries for different purposes:

SummaryListenersSchedule
Lead DigestLead generation listenersDaily
Brand RoundupBrand monitoring listenersDaily
Weekly CompetitiveCompetitor listenersWeekly

This lets you review different types of signals at different cadences.

A common setup:

ListenerReal-Time AlertScheduled Summary
Hot Leads (high threshold)SlackNone
General Leads (lower threshold)NoneDaily email
Brand MonitoringNoneDaily email
Competitor IntelNoneWeekly email

This way you’re immediately notified of the best opportunities while still capturing everything in regular digests.

  • Daily for anything you want to act on within 24 hours
  • Weekly for monitoring and intelligence gathering

If a summary gets too long, split your listeners or raise thresholds. A 50-signal digest is overwhelming.

The value of summaries comes from consistent review. Block time on your calendar:

  • Daily summary → 15 minutes each morning
  • Weekly summary → 30 minutes Monday morning

If a listener only generates a few signals per week, a weekly summary prevents alert fatigue from sporadic notifications.

  • Raise relevance thresholds on connected listeners
  • Split into multiple summaries
  • Remove low-value listeners from the summary
  • Lower thresholds on connected listeners
  • Add more listeners to the summary
  • Switch from weekly to daily to catch signals sooner
