As seen here<\/a>, in the Advanced Settings section, you can define alert task settings for enabling and limiting the initial set of alert messages displayed to the end-user when the task is set up, define alert message reminders, and if required, prevent duplicate messages sent to the user.<\/p>\n\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n

Defined Advanced Settings<\/h4>\n

In the Advanced Settings<\/strong> section, you can define the initial polling results for a task, define an alert reminder, and specify keys the Bots Platform should use to prevent duplicate alert messages, for example, in a Twitter<\/em> or Facebook<\/em> feed.
\nTo define advanced settings for a\u00a0task, on the Settings<\/strong>\u00a0tab, click the Expand<\/strong>\u00a0 icon in the Advanced Settings<\/strong>\u00a0section as shown in the following illustration.
\n\"AlertTask<\/a><\/p>\n

Initial Polling Setup<\/h5>\n

Initial polling is an option you can define to enable display of events to end-users immediately after they set up the task. For example, for a CNN News Bots<\/em>, you can enable initial polling to show the last 10 news posts immediately after the end-user adds the task to their application. If initial polling is not defined, the task polling begins after the specified Trigger Interval<\/strong> has elapsed.
\nTo enable and configure initial polling, in the Perform Initial Poll<\/strong>\u00a0section, select Yes<\/strong>. In the No of posts<\/strong> field, enter the number of previous posts that should be posted immediately in the end-user application, as shown in the following illustration.

Setting Up Alert Reminders<\/span><\/h5>\n

For some tasks, for example, the Google Calendar<\/em> Event Updates<\/em> task, you may want to add a reminder to the task. The reminder sends a reminder message to the end-user after receipt of\u00a0the original task message. For example, the end-user may want to set up a 30-minute and 15-minute reminder before an event with the task message.
\nTo enable and configure reminders, in the Enable Alert Reminder<\/strong> section, click Yes<\/strong>. The reminder configuration section is displayed as shown in the following illustration.
