Email alerts and digests
Get Quantisnow alerts by email on any plan, send a test email, keep alerts out of Gmail Promotions, and choose the daily digest, weekly recap and product update emails.
In brief
- Email alerts go to your account email for followed tickers with the Email channel on. Free accounts get them 55 seconds late on up to 5 tickers; Plus gets them in real time.
- Email can lag push by a few minutes, so it suits lower-urgency follows.
- Use Send test email on /alerts, and if Gmail files alerts under Promotions or Updates, move one to Primary.
- Email preferences in Settings control the Daily market digest, Weekly recap and Product updates, which includes the monthly Quantisnow Monthly email on the 1st.
- Every email has an unsubscribe link.
Quantisnow sends two kinds of email: alerts, which deliver news about your followed tickers as it happens, and digests and updates, which summarize the market on a schedule. Alerts are a Plus feature and go to your account email. Digests are controlled under Email preferences in Settings.

How to turn on email alerts
New follows have email on by default. To change it for a ticker:
- Go to /follows and click the alerts button next to a ticker.
- Switch Email on or off under Channels.
- Switch on the categories you want, such as SEC filings or Analyst ratings.
See Alerts for every category and channel.
How to send a test email
- Go to /alerts. The Email section shows your account email.
- Click Send test email.
- Check your inbox. The confirmation reminds you to look in Primary, not Promotions or Updates.
How to keep alerts out of Gmail Promotions
Gmail sometimes files alerts under the Promotions or Updates tabs, where they are easy to miss.
- Find a Quantisnow alert in Promotions or Updates.
- Drag it to the Primary tab.
- When Gmail asks whether to do this for future messages, choose yes.
Future alerts will then land in Primary. Adding the sender to your contacts can help with other email providers.
When to choose email over push
Email is good for tickers you want to keep up with but do not need to act on within seconds, and for keeping a searchable record. For breaking news, use Push notifications. For automation, use Webhooks. You can turn on several channels for the same ticker.
Digests and product emails
These emails are controlled per account under Email preferences at the bottom of /settings.
| What it is | |
|---|---|
| Daily market digest | One email per trading day summarizing the biggest moves |
| Weekly recap | A weekly roundup of the biggest stories from your followed tickers |
| Product updates | Occasional announcements about new features, including the monthly digest Quantisnow Monthly, sent on the 1st |
How to change your email preferences
- Go to /settings.
- Scroll to Email preferences.
- Switch each email on or off. Changes save immediately.
The Weekly recap is built from your followed tickers, so follow some first. See Following tickers.
How to unsubscribe
Every email includes an unsubscribe link at the bottom. Click it to stop that type of email. You can also switch digests off under Email preferences, and turn off email alerts by switching off Email for each ticker on /follows.
Your account email is shown under Profile in /settings. For account questions see Account and security.
