• Emoji assessment alerts: Alerts recipients when specific emoji responses are selected within a specified time frame

• Tempo Score alerts: Alerts recipients when a Tempo Score drops by a certain amount

• Note alerts: Alerts recipients when specific keywords and/or negative sentiments are expressed in the note(s) of an assessment
