Google Trends email subscriptions to stop working on October 29

Google Developments will cease sending emails for subscriptions you arrange inside Google Developments. Google mentioned it’s turning down the e-mail subscription service as of October 29, 2024.

As a substitute, Google says you need to use RSS feeds or test the positioning manually for these alerts.

What Google mentioned. Google wrote in an e-mail to these impacted, those that have e-mail subscriptions arrange for Google Developments, saying, “Beginning on 29 October 2024, Google Developments pattern notifications will not be supported and present alerts will not be despatched. As well as, creating new pattern alerts utilizing the subscription web page will not be doable.”

Alternate options. Google mentioned, as an alternative of the e-mail subscriptions, “there are other ways to entry trending data:”

• Homepage Publication: Go to the Google Developments homepage to enroll in our every day publication and obtain the newest traits in your inbox.
• RSS Feed: Subscribe to the RSS feed for real-time updates on trending subjects.

Extra particulars. Google added the email subscription service to Google Trends a decade in the past. Google mentioned again then, “it’s simpler to get simply the precise insights at simply the precise time with e-mail notifications.” Properly, I assume not.

RSS and the homepage publication don’t offer you all the identical options as the e-mail subscription choice.

The e-mail. Here’s a screenshot of this e-mail from Kavir posted on X:

Why we care. For those who use this feature to remain on high of your trade traits and modifications, then you could wish to search for different methods to remain on high of those traits. You have got a number of weeks to attempt new issues, so attempt them now.

I additionally hope this doesn’t imply that Google Alert e-mail subscriptions are going away anytime quickly. Google Alerts helps you to subscribe to searches and information feeds through e-mail RSS and different means.

I ought to observe, Google lately updated the trending now page.
