There are various moderation alerts you can use on your Facebook group, and each has its own purpose and benefits. Here’s a look at each type and how it can help your group stay on track:
1. Engagement Alerts
According to Facebook, engagement alerts mobile number data inform administrators “when posts or comments in your group are receiving a significant response.” This is useful when you want to stay up to date on the top discussions in the group (e.g., posts with a large number of comments, posts with a high amount of reactions, etc.).

2. Keyword Alerts
Facebook gives us, as admins, the keyword alerts tool to effectively regulate our group. It searches through all of the conversations – both posts and comments – on our group feed to look for certain phrases and content categories, such as language and keywords that might indicate spam, dispute, harassment, or violence.
Other Facebook group admins also use keyword alerts to monitor for any violations of the group rules. Most business Facebook groups discourage members from promoting their own business to protect the members from sketchy offers. Other Facebook groups watch out for profanity.
