Alerts
To use the alert email notification, you must be registered with HeliTrader.
NOTE: You must be registered to create and manage alert notifications.

Users can easily create and manage alerts based on manufacturer and model(s) using either the “Filter Options” menu or the user “Dashboard.”

To create alerts using “Filter Options,” users may select one or more manufacturer and any number of corresponding models currently in inventory from the menu. Once selections are complete, the filter results can be saved as an alert by clicking “Apply Filter(s)” and then “Save results to alerts.” Users will then also be able to see current listings that match their applied filter(s).

To manage or create alerts using the “Dashboard,” select “Alerts and Emails.” Next, select one manufacturer (OEM) and applicable rotorcraft models. Lastly, click “Save Alert Settings” to save the new alert. Any saved alerts, including those created from “Filter Options,” will now be listed, and current listings matching each alert can also be viewed. Users can easily edit or remove saved alerts if they wish
There are two ways to unsubscribe from alerts:

 1.  All alerts from HeliTrader have an “Unsubscribe” link. Simply click on the unsubscribe link and follow the steps; or
 2.  Go to your Dashboard to manage your alerts.
Alerts will be emailed to users every Monday, so long as new listings meeting their specified alert criteria have been listed since the previous Monday. To reduce the number of emails that users receive, multiple new listings will be combined into one alert. For example, alerts for Airbus H125, H130, and Sikorsky S76C+ models would be included in one alert rather than three separate alerts.
