💡 Plox Tip: Use document view alerts as a trigger for follow-ups. If a lead views your pitch after a few days of silence, it's the perfect time to reconnect.

## Document Viewed

You receive an alert when someone opens a document you’ve shared (if tracking is enabled).

- Triggered by: First-time document view
- Available on: Plus & Pro plans
- Best for: Following up after pitching, sending proposals, or sharing updates

## OTP Verification Completed

When a viewer successfully verifies their identity using the OTP (one-time password) sent to their email.

- Triggered by: Successful OTP entry before document access
- Available on: Plus & Pro plans
- Best for: Confirming verified access to sensitive documents

## Data Room Accessed

You receive an alert when someone opens a data room you've shared.

- Triggered by: First-time data room view
- Available on: Plus & Pro plans

## Real-Time Visitor Alert

Get notified the moment someone is actively viewing your document or data room in real time.

## How Alerts Work
