---

Open Alerts

Go to:

SEO Repair Kit → Spam Monitor → Alerts

---

Enable Email Alerts

Turn on:

Enable Email Alerts

This is the master switch for Spam Monitor alert emails.

If this option is disabled, the selected alert risk levels will not independently enable email delivery.

---

Set Maximum Alert History Records

Use:

Maximum Alert History Records

to control how many alert-history records are retained in this interface.

The screenshot currently shows:

100

Treat this as the current configured value, not a required value for every website.

---

Set the Alert Email Address

Enter the email address that should receive Spam Monitor alerts in:

Alert Email Address

Use an email address that is actively monitored by the person responsible for website or SEO issues.

---

Choose Alert Risk Levels

Under:

Alert on Risk Levels

you can choose:

• Clean
• Suspicious
• Spam
• Critical

The current interface recommends enabling:

• Suspicious
• Spam
• Critical

and keeping Clean disabled to reduce unnecessary notifications.

This is the recommendation displayed by the product interface; adjust the selection according to your monitoring needs.

---

Send Scan Summary Email

Enable:

Send Scan Summary Email

if you want a digest after each completed scan.

This is useful when you want scan completion information in addition to risk-triggered alerts.

---

Review Current Detection Thresholds

The Alerts screen also displays the current risk thresholds:

• Clean
• Suspicious
• Spam
• Critical

These reflect the risk classification configured through Spam Rules.

For changing thresholds, use:

Spam Monitor → Spam Rules

---

Save Alert Settings

After making changes, click:

Save Alert Settings

---

Send a Test Email

Click:

Send Test Email

to test the configured alert email workflow.

This is useful after changing the alert email address or setting up alerts for the first time.

---

Review Alert Volume

The Alert Volume panel provides a summary of alerts by risk level for the last 30 days.

It separates alert activity into:

• Clean
• Suspicious
• Spam
• Critical

---

The Alert History table shows recent alert deliveries.

Use these controls when reviewing a larger alert history.

when you intentionally want to remove the stored alert history.

Export any required records first.
