@title modifier no longer works?

320 62 March 29, 2025 at 11:33 AM
I have several deal alerts that uses the @title modifier, but I started receiving notifications where the keyworkd is not in the title and previewing the deal alert returns zero results. Has the @title modifier been deprecated?

as far as i know it should still work. can you share the settings of one that alerted incorrectly? there have been a few occasions where the modifier was put in the title of the da but not in the actual keyword field so wondering if that could be the case here or if there is a bug.

The first screenshot shows the deal alert I setup with 129 matches. Clicking on the link returns 3,358 results (second screenshot)

I see that we did send out one email for your @title clorox wipes alert that currently looks like it doesn't match, but the title of that thread did previously contain clorox wipes.

If there are other examples, please forward them to [email protected] so that we can try to dig deeper into this issue.

Deal Alerts and Search work a little differently, so unfortunately, that is not always an accurate representation of what deals you will be alerted to.

OK, that explains why I received that alert. That's what triggered my curiosity
