YouTube Alerts That Watch Everything for You
Stop refreshing dashboards. ytrank watches your rankings, hourly views, competitor channels and video changes around the clock — and e-mails you the moment something you care about happens. You decide what counts as "something": thresholds, directions, events, even the wording of the e-mail.
- ✓Rank alerts: position threshold, direction (up/down/both) and event triggers — reached #1, entered Top 3, entered/left the first page, dropped out
- ✓Write your own alert message with placeholders like {video}, {old_rank}, {new_rank}, {country}
- ✓Hourly view alerts: views-per-hour thresholds, acceleration spikes and view milestones
- ✓Video change and competitor alerts — pick exactly which elements should trigger an e-mail
How it works
Open Alerts on any tracking
Every tracked item — a rank tracking, an archived video, a watched video or a competitor channel — has its own Alerts button.
Pick your triggers
Set a position threshold, tick event boxes, choose which video elements matter, or set view thresholds. Each tracking has its own independent rule.
Get the e-mail instantly
The moment a check detects your condition, the e-mail goes out — in your own words if you wrote a custom template.
Why it matters
A tracking tool you have to check is just another tab you forget. Alerts flip the relationship: the data watches you instead. And because every creator cares about different things, ytrank alerts are granular — one channel wants to know about any rank change of 3+, another only cares about reaching #1, a third watches a competitor's thumbnail experiments. Custom message templates are the finishing touch: the e-mail arrives phrased exactly how you want, ready to forward to your team.
Frequently asked questions
Are alerts free?
Yes — like everything on ytrank. You only need a verified e-mail address on your account.
Can I write my own alert text?
Yes. Each tracking's alert has a message template with placeholders like {video}, {keyword}, {old_rank}, {new_rank}, {country} — leave it empty to use the default wording.
Which tools support alerts?
Rank Tracking, Hourly Views, Video Changes and Competitors. The on-demand tools (Keyword Research, Title Tester, Description Checker, Video Ideas) don't need them.
How fast do alerts arrive?
Checks run on the schedule you chose for that tracking — as often as every 2 hours for ranks, hourly for views. The e-mail is sent the moment a check detects the change.
