Understanding Hand-Picked Alert Delivery

When an agent sends a hand-picked alert with a personalized message to a client, RealScout does not automatically send copies to the agent or other team members. This is intentional: hand-picked alerts function similarly to direct messages (DMs) and are only sent to the intended recipients.

What Email Notifications You DO Receive Copies Of

  • Automatic alerts - Daily, weekly, or ASAP scheduled alerts that have been set up for clients

  • Emails to secondary/tertiary contacts - If your staff account is listed as an additional contact on a client's profile

What Email Notifications You DON'T Receive Copies Of

  • Hand-picked listings - Properties manually selected and sent with personalized messages

  • One-time personalized alerts - Individual property recommendations sent directly to clients

How to Track Hand-Picked Messages Sent by Your Team

If you need to monitor what hand-picked alerts have been sent to specific clients, follow these steps:

Method 1: View in Email Activity Tab

  1. Open the client's profile in RealScout

  2. Navigate to the Email Activity tab

  3. Review recent messages in preview form by opening them

Method 2: Share Message URLs for Team Coordination

If you need to stay informed about what team members are sending to clients:

  1. Go to the Email Activity tab after sending hand-picked alerts

  2. Right-click and open the recently-sent message

  3. Copy the URL from your browser's address bar

  4. Email the URL to your team member(s) for their records

Example URL format:

https://yourteam.realscout.com/agent/users/[USER_ID]/homebuyer_actions/[ACTION_ID]

Optional: Print the message as a PDF for a durable record if needed.

What if I Still Need Copies of Some Hand-picked Alerts?

You can add your email as an additional email, though using the RealScout app or your Contact's Email Activity page are also options..
