Emails & notifications

What fypnow sends you without being asked — breakout alerts and the weekly recap — and how to change it.

Updated Aug 8, 2026·3 min read

Two emails deliver value when you're not logged in. Both are included on every plan, free accounts included.

Breakout alerts

A daily scan of every creator you track, looking for a video that is genuinely taking off rather than merely doing well. If it finds any, you get one email — subject line like "3 videos went viral today" — listing them biggest-surge-first.

A video has to clear two independent bars to count:

  • Velocity — it grew sharply between two snapshots, so it's moving right now.
  • Peer floor — it's an outlier against that creator's own typical numbers, not against TikTok at large.

Requiring both is what keeps the alert rare enough to be worth opening. A big account's ordinary video won't trigger it, and neither will a slow climb to a decent total.

Alerts cover your own account too, not just competitors — a surge on your own video is the one you most want to know about while you can still ride it.

The same detections appear in-app as the Breaking out feed on your home page and under Viral Trends, so nothing is email-only.

Weekly recap

Once a week, a per-creator scoreboard for the previous 7 days: views gained, engagement gained, new posts, and viral hits for each creator you track, with your top 8 by views gained in the table and the totals in the subject line.

It's deliberately per creator, never per video — individual video callouts are the breakout alert's job. We skip the send entirely in a week where nothing moved, rather than emailing you an empty table.

Changing what you receive

Go to Settings → Notifications. Each email has its own checkbox, grouped by what it's about:

  • Activity — Scrape completed, Analysis ready.
  • Usage — Approaching usage limit, Usage limit reached.
  • Team — Team member joined, Invitation received.
  • Digest — Weekly digest. This is the weekly recap, and it's on by default.

There's also an Email frequency setting — Instant, Daily or Weekly — which controls how often activity notifications are batched, rather than which ones you get.

Only orgs tracking at least one creator are scanned or recapped. If you're not receiving either email, the first thing to check is whether you're tracking a creator.
