Many clients use Recorded Future to monitor for new mentions of topics, entities, or events of particular interest. Alerts can be set up by analytics users to fire off when these new mentions are detected across any of the sources that Recorded Future collects from.
Alerts are delivered via email and available within the Recorded Future portal; there is also Alert API operations that can be used to integrate alerts into other applications (ticketing systems, or SOAR workflows).
This support page describes a suggested approach for using the API for Alert Management. Below are example screenshots from the Recorded Future portal; the Alert API operations are designed to provide programmatic access to the basic information on each of these screens.

Important Note: The Alert API now includes an "update" operation that allows programmatic access to write back information to an alert. The 3 fields that can be updated include (1) alert status, (2) alert assignee, and (3) notes on an alert. With this "update" operation, Recorded Future alerts can be wholly managed outside of the portal; however, alert rules and general configuration still need to be done within the portal itself. See this support page on the Alert API for additional details.
