On the Groups Watcher Pro plan, email is built in. When there is a new post in a group or page you monitor, we send you an alert in under 60 seconds.
This feature is available on the Pro plan. Check pricing here.
How to enable email notifications for Facebook group posts
Groups Watcher watches the groups and pages you add. On Pro, you can have each new post delivered to your inbox instead of checking Facebook by hand.
- During Pro onboarding or in your client dashboard, choose Email as your notification channel.
- Enter the email address where you want to receive alerts.
- Finish setup so your campaign is active. Each matching post triggers one email from
notifications.groupswatcher.com.
Your campaign settings control which posts trigger an email. Each alert is its own message so your inbox stays easy to scan.
What each email contains
- Subject:
New post in {group name} - Group name and poster display name
- Post text (including marketplace listing text when relevant)
- Links to open the post and view the group when we have URLs
Example notification
Live alerts use the same layout as the sample below. Messages are sent from notifications.groupswatcher.com with the subject line New post in {group name}.

Frequently asked questions
Can I get notified of new Facebook posts by email?
Yes. Groups Watcher Pro includes built in email alerts. You add the Facebook groups or pages you care about, turn on email as your notification channel, and we send you a message when there is a new post. We send each alert in under 60 seconds.
How do I enable email notifications for Facebook group posts?
Subscribe to Groups Watcher Pro and complete setup. When we ask where to send notifications, choose Email and enter the inbox you want to use. Add your groups or pages in the client dashboard, set any keywords or filters you want, and activate the campaign. After that, new posts trigger emails from notifications.groupswatcher.com automatically.
What is Groups Watcher?
Groups Watcher is a monitoring service for Facebook groups and Facebook pages. Instead of checking feeds by hand, you tell us what to watch and how to filter. Pro customers can get alerts by email or webhook in under 60 seconds so sales, community managers, and researchers never miss a relevant post.
Does Facebook send these emails?
No. Meta does not provide a simple “email me every new post” option for arbitrary groups. Groups Watcher runs the monitoring and sends the email from our domain so you get a clear subject line, post text, and links in one place.
What does each alert email include?
The subject line looks like “New post in {group name}”. The body includes the group name, who posted, the post text (including marketplace text when it applies), and links to open the post and view the group.
Can I use Groups Watcher for brand mentions on Facebook?
Yes. Teams use Pro to watch groups and pages where people talk about a brand, product, or competitor. Add keywords or AI filtering so you see the conversations that matter. Most alerts reach you in under 60 seconds through email, webhooks, Slack, and the other channels in these guides.
