You're in — full access

During beta, you get full access to all AlertOwl features at no charge. No credit card required. We'll notify you before any pricing changes.

Add your WhatsApp number

In Settings, enter the WhatsApp number where you'd like to receive alerts. Include your country code (e.g., +971 50 123 4567).

Done — alerts start automatically

AlertOwl begins monitoring your inbox immediately. Critical messages trigger instant WhatsApp alerts. Everything else appears in your daily digest email.

Email arrives in your inbox

AlertOwl checks your connected accounts every 60 seconds for new messages. We read the message content to classify it, then permanently remove it immediately after classification — only metadata is retained.

AI classifies the message

Our AI analyzes the sender, subject, and preview to determine the category (Payment, Complaint, VIP, etc.) and priority (Critical, High, Medium, Low). It also checks your custom alert rules.

You get alerted — or not

Critical / High: Instant WhatsApp alert. Medium: Included in your daily digest email. Low: Archived in your dashboard — no notification.
