Get alerted when my topic is mentioned in a debate
In your keyword alert, the Videos of parliamentary debates field sets which emails you get when your topic is spoken in a debate.
A separate setting inside your alert, which many people have never opened.
In detail
Transcribed debates do not follow the general frequency of your alert: they have their own setting, because the pace of a debate has nothing to do with the pace of a publication.
| Setting | What you receive | Who it is for |
|---|---|---|
| At each occurrence | An email as soon as your phrase is spoken, during the debate | A subject under examination this week, on which you have to react within the hour |
| Once per meeting | A single email per meeting, even if your subject comes up ten times | The most comfortable setting for ongoing monitoring |
| Daily | One email a day, grouping the debates where your subject came up | A background subject, with no urgency |
| Do not follow | Nothing. The debates remain available to consult in the platform | A regulatory framing alert, where the debate would make noise |
What “at each occurrence” means
The alert is designed to notify you quickly during debates. Actual timing depends on the video feed, transcript availability and the selected frequency. If you are following a hearing live, the debate page remains the most immediate place to check.
Another way to get notified: follow a committee
The setting above starts from your keywords. There is a second way in, which starts from the places: follow a committee or a body with the bell icon, and you receive the summary of its debates, sitting after sitting, without having to guess the words that will be spoken there.
The two complement each other. The keyword alert catches your subject everywhere; following a body covers what is said where your file is decided.
Where to set it
