Turn it on in three presses

  1. Step 1: In Runner, open Community, then First responders, for the product you want it on.

    Runner's First responders screen for a product: a coffee-trade story that broke 58 minutes ago, the team's angle, and a Write my take button.
  2. Step 2: On the card named Every 5 minutes, more sources, turn the add-on on. It joins that product's bill.

  3. Step 3: Switch on the sources where being first counts, up to 30 of them. Each one is checked every 5 minutes.

    Sources to watch closely: three news sources, two switched on, and a link to add more.

Questions about First Responder

How do I turn it on?

An organization owner or admin turns it on for a product, from that product's First responders screen.

What do I get without it?

First responders comes with every plan: your watched sources checked every 10 minutes, a ping when something matters, Write my take and Publish all. The add-on makes the watch faster and wider.

Is it per product?

Yes. You turn it on for the products where being first counts, and billing follows the products with it on.

Ready when you are.
