Email reports
ForumScout can send you email reports with your latest matches on a schedule you define. This is useful if you prefer to review mentions from your inbox rather than checking the dashboard.
Setting up email reports
Go to Settings and find the Scheduled Email Reports section. You can create up to 5 separate email schedules.
Each schedule includes:
- Send time — When the email is sent (adjusted to your timezone)
- Scouts — Which scouts to include in the report
- Toggle — Enable or disable the schedule without deleting it
Default email recipients
In Settings, you can set default email recipients that receive notifications across all your scouts. Individual scouts can also have their own email recipients configured during scout creation or editing.
Mention limit warnings
ForumScout sends automatic warning emails when you approach your monthly mention limit:
- 75% warning — Heads up that you're using most of your monthly allowance
- 90% warning — Urgent notice that you're about to hit your limit
You can toggle these warnings on or off in Settings.
Tips
- Set reports for your morning — Configure the send time so reports arrive when you start your day.
- Use separate schedules for different teams — Create one schedule for marketing (brand scouts) and another for sales (lead generation scouts).
- Keep mention limit warnings on — Getting caught off guard by a paused scout is worse than one extra email.
