Where do alerts come from? Foral watches municipalities' official documents. Every new thing it finds is a signal — and an alert is the notice you get when a signal you care about shows up.
See everything Foral foundWhat Foral alerts watch for you
Foral reads the official documents of municipal councils and other public sources. Every new item it finds is a signal. When a signal matches the topics and municipalities you chose, you get a notice by email or in the app. Every notice links to the original document.
