Preserve alert history so admins can review recipients, delivery status, suppression, and future tuning decisions.
Frequently asked questions
Is SENTINEL only for statewide or federal campaigns?
No. SENTINEL is especially useful for local races where small outlets, local issues, and opponent mentions can move quickly.
How is SENTINEL different from a generic media monitoring tool?
SENTINEL is built around campaign context: candidate names, opponents, districts, committees, issues, severity, relevance, and response posture.
Can SENTINEL send campaign alerts by SMS, email, and Slack?
Yes. SENTINEL is designed for dashboard monitoring plus email, SMS, and Slack alert delivery, with controls for severity, relevance, and recipient routing.
Can users create an account directly?
Yes. Public SEO pages point visitors to account creation so campaign teams can start the onboarding flow.
Should every campaign mention send a text message?
No. SMS should be reserved for critical, relevant mentions. Lower-confidence items are better handled in the dashboard, email, or Slack.
Can alert delivery support consultants managing multiple clients?
Yes. SENTINEL is designed around client-specific monitoring, recipients, alert thresholds, and admin visibility.
