# Alerts, channels and attention commands

Rules that decide what you hear about, the channels it lands in, and what needs attention.

Rules that decide what you hear about, the channels it lands in, and what needs attention. Generated from the same OpenAPI document as the [API Reference](/api); ids are positional, every other input is a flag named as in the API, and each flag is described there. Global flags: `--api-key`, `--api-url`, `--pretty`, `--table`.

```bash
mentio attention:list --table
mentio attention:dismiss att_5b1f...
mentio channels:update dest_... --events mention.spike,channel.failing
mentio channels:create --kind webhook --url https://example.com/hooks/mentio --label Production
mentio alerts:create --name "Negative mentions" --event mention.negative --filter '{"sentiments":["negative"]}' --channelIds dest_...
mentio alerts:create --name "Week in review" --mode weekly --schedule '{"hour":9,"minute":0,"timezone":"Europe/Madrid","weekday":1}' --channelIds dest_...
mentio alerts:test feed_...
mentio channels:deliveries dest_...
