Lists and alerts
Alerts: what we tell you and when
We check the companies on your lists every 15 minutes and record what changed. Pro and Team get a daily email, Team and API users can also get webhooks. Turn alerts off in each list's settings.
What we watch for
| Alert | When |
|---|---|
| Status change | The company's status changes, for example to dissolved or in liquidation |
| Gazette notice | A notice appears in The Gazette, such as a winding-up petition or a strike-off warning |
| Accounts overdue, confirmation statement overdue | A filing deadline passes |
| Accounts filed, confirmation statement filed | The company files them |
| New financials available | We have read new accounts figures |
| Charge registered, charge satisfied | Secured borrowing is registered or paid off |
| Officer change | A director or secretary is appointed or resigns |
| PSC change | The people with significant control change |
| Name change, registered address change, SIC change | These details change |
| New filing | Any other new filing |
Each alert is marked as information, a warning or critical. Insolvency notices are critical.
When you add a company, we record how it stands now. You get alerts for changes from then on, not for its past.
How and when you hear
- On the list: we check every 15 minutes. Changes appear under Changes on each list. This works on every plan, including Free.
- By email (Pro and Team, and paid API plans): one email a day at 07:00 UTC lists the changes since the last one, grouped by list. Each list's email goes to the person who created the list.
- By webhook (Team, and the API): we send each change to your own system as it is found. See Webhooks: get changes sent to your system.
If nothing changes, we do not email you.
Turn alerts on or off
- Open the list.
- Open its settings and find Monitoring and alerts.
- Use the switches:
- Watch these companies for changes: turning this off stops new alerts for the list;
- Daily email of changes;
- Send changes to a webhook.
There is no unsubscribe link in the alert email itself. Change the setting on each list instead.
