My Alerts are a convenient way to receive automatic email notifications when items matching your interest are added to the Bidspot website by partner auction houses. You can add a keyword, a title search, refine by category or even inclusion in live or online auctions.

You can create alerts on Bidspot to receive notification via email or within your account of when items list that your are interested in. Here's how to set up alerts.
 

Setting Alerts on Bidspot

To create an alert, go to your My Alerts tab. Name your search, for example, if you would like to be notified of one of Alliance Construction auctions, name your search Alliance Construction or whatever you will easily recognise.

Next, type in keywords or search terms and separate each word or phrase with a comma. Click the Save Alert button.

Your saved search will now show up on the top. Icons will appear indicating what is being done with your search.

The envelope indicates you will receive an email alert if any items listed are relevant to that search.

If you do not wish to receive email notifications on that alert, you can click the envelope to remove email.

If you click on the magnifying glass the site will indicate your search which will land you on the results page where you can sort and add to your watch list.

If you would like to delete any alerts you’ve set up, just click the delete icon.

Finally, you can also view invoices and update any profile information at any time in your My Bidspot account.
