The Excludes section allows you to filter out unwanted results from specific users or sources on your monitored platforms. This is a simple but useful feature for removing noise from your search results.

How Excludes Work

The primary use case for excludes is removing results from certain usernames on platforms like Reddit. This is particularly helpful for filtering out your own posts and comments from the results, since you probably don't need notifications about your own activity.

Adding Exclusions

To set up an exclusion:

  1. Select the platform you want to exclude results from using the dropdown menu
  2. Enter the username you want to exclude in the text field
  3. Click "Add Exclusion" to save the setting

Example Use Case

For instance, if your Reddit username is "TBramlett" and you don't want to receive notifications about your own posts and comments, you would:

  1. Select "Reddit" from the platform dropdown
  2. Type "TBramlett" in the username field
  3. Click "Add Exclusion"

From that point forward, any results that come from the TBramlett user account on Reddit will be automatically filtered out of your notifications.

Managing Exclusions

Once you've added exclusions, they'll appear in the list below the input fields. You can add multiple exclusions for different platforms and usernames as needed to fine-tune your results.

Additional Use Cases

While username exclusions are the most common use case, the Excludes section can be adapted for other filtering needs. If you have specific requirements that aren't currently supported, contact our support team to discuss potential enhancements to this feature.

This simple but effective tool helps ensure that your notifications contain only the most relevant and actionable content for your monitoring goals.
