How to Create News Reports in NewsMachine

NewsMachine offers a flexible news reporting system that allows you to share the results of your agents with selected recipients. Follow the steps below to create and configure a news report.

Step 1: Add Recipients

Before creating a news report, you need to add recipients who will receive the report.

  • Log in to NewsMachine.
  • Go to Monitor in the top menu.
  • Select Share in the submenu and then choose Recipients from the left-side menu.
  • Click Add Recipient, enter the email address, and hit Save.
  • Repeat the process for all contacts you want to share the news report with.

Step 2: Create a News Report

  1. Go to Reports(Monitoring > Share > Reports) and click on Create.
  2. Enter a clear and descriptive name for your report, e. g. Weekly Report – My Business.
  3. Choose how and when the report should be delivered.

Step 3: Choose the Delivery Frequency

Decide how often you want to receive the reports:

  • When it happens (Immediately ) – Recommended for critical events that require immediate response. Note: To avoid too many emails, consider collecting hits every 5-10 minutes.
  • Alert – A refined version of “When it happens,” allowing you to receive reports only when a large volume of material appears within a set time frame. Specify the minimum number of hits and the time interval.
  • Scheduled – The most common option, ideal for daily reports, such as a morning news summary.

If you need the same report at different times (e.g. morning and evening), you can link it to another report before saving.

Step 4: Select the Recipient

Once the delivery schedule is set, you choose who will receive the report:

  • Select from the previously added recipients.
  • Select individual recipients or predefined groups.

Step 5: Select Search Agents (Content)

Next, define which agents will provide data for the report:

  • Select one or more agents to monitor.
  • Press Save to finalize the setting.

Advanced options: If you only want to share selected articles instead of the whole feed, enable Send only published articles under Advanced report settings. This ensures that only manually selected hits are shared.

Step 6: Save and Manage Reports

When the settings are ready, save the report. If needed, you can go back and change the report settings at any time. For further customizations and advanced reporting options, explore the detailed NewsMachine documentation.
