# Use a Notify action

You can use the Notify action to alert you to trouble while an agent is running. Notify actions happen in real-time, so they are especially useful when gathering time-sensitive data or troubleshooting agents running on tricky or complex sites.

The information generated by Notify actions can be sent using one of two methods:

- **Notify Email:** Send data directly to your inbox.
- **Notify URL**: Send data directly to a URL.

### How to add Notify Email and URL in the Agent Builder

1. Open an agent.
2. Click on the last action you want before being notified.
3. Click **Add Action > Notify Email** or **Notify URL**.
4. The email or URL receives the data gathered at that point in the agent run. **Drag and drop** the Notify action to adjust its placement.

### Troubleshoot Complex Websites

Notify actions can immediately alert you if an item is not captured or a page fails to load. To accomplish this, set the action to Error Handle to a New Page, then add a Notify action.

1. Open an agent.
2. Right-click on the action that may hit an error, select **Properties**.
3. Click **Error Handle**.
4. Select **New Page** from the drop-down.

5. On the new page add **Notify Email** or **Notify URL**.
6. If you would like more information about the error, add an action to **capture a screenshot** or **Custom Value** before the Notify Action.
