Watchlist & Notifications
Pin components for continuous monitoring. Configure email and Slack alerts.
Once you ship a BOM to production, the risk picture doesn't freeze — distributors run out of stock, manufacturers issue PCNs, governments impose tariffs. The Watchlist plus Notifications system keeps you informed without forcing you to re-assess manually.
Pinning a component
Open any Component Risk Detail panel and click "Watch" in the top-right. The part now appears in the Watchlist page (sidebar). You can watch as many components as you like — there is no limit on any tier.
What gets monitored
- Composite score change (positive or negative) of ≥10 points.
- Severity tier change (LOW→MEDIUM, MEDIUM→HIGH, HIGH→CRITICAL — or improvements in the other direction).
- Distributor stock dropping below a configurable threshold (default: 1,000 units across all distributors).
- Lifecycle status changes (e.g., ACTIVE → NRND → EOL).
- New PCN issued in the last 30 days.
- New sanctions or tariff updates affecting the part.
Configuring alerts
Open Settings → Notifications to choose how you want to be reached:
- Alert threshold
- Choose which severity changes trigger alerts (Low / Medium / High / Critical).
- Email alerts
- Sent to your account email immediately when any watched component crosses the threshold.
- Weekly digest
- A Monday-morning summary of every watched component's status. Useful even when nothing fires alerts.
- Webhook (Enterprise)
- POST to your endpoint when HIGH or CRITICAL alerts fire. Signed with a shared secret; payloads include 1-hour replay protection.
Slack integration — see the Integrations doc. Once connected, every HIGH and CRITICAL alert posts to your chosen channel with a link back to the component.
