Introduction
Cricket fans know that the thrill of a match can hinge on a single ball, and missing a crucial moment can feel like a missed opportunity. With the growing popularity of live‑score apps and fan platforms, Reddybook has emerged as a powerful tool for staying connected to every wicket, six, and surprise over. This step‑by‑step guide will walk you through setting up personalized cricket alerts on Reddybook, ensuring you never miss the action again. Whether you’re tracking a local club game or an international Test series, the platform’s flexible alert system lets you tailor notifications to suit your schedule, preferences, and favorite teams.
1. Creating and Optimizing Your Reddybook Account
1.1. Sign Up or Log In
Begin by visiting the Reddybook homepage. Click the Sign Up button if you’re a new user, or choose Log In if you already have an account. Registration requires a valid email address, a strong password, and your favorite cricket team(s) for initial personalization. After confirming your email, you’ll be directed to the dashboard.
1.2. Complete Your Profile
A complete profile improves the relevance of alerts. Navigate to My Profile and add:
- Your full name (or a nickname you prefer to display).
- Location – this helps Reddybook suggest regional matches and time‑zone‑specific notifications.
- Favoured cricket formats – Test, ODI, T20, or domestic leagues.
- Preferred teams and players – you can select multiple teams across different competitions.
Saving these details allows the system to automatically prioritize the matches that matter most to you.
1.3. Enable Two‑Factor Authentication (Optional but Recommended)
Security is crucial for any online platform. Go to Account Settings → Security and follow the prompts to enable two‑factor authentication (2FA) via an authenticator app or SMS. This ensures your cricket alerts remain private and prevents unauthorized changes to your preferences.
2. Navigating to the Alerts Section
2.1. Locate the Alerts Dashboard
From the main navigation bar, click Alerts. The Alerts Dashboard presents three tabs: Active Alerts, Alert History, and Create New Alert. This central hub lets you manage existing notifications and add fresh ones in a few clicks.
2.2. Understanding Alert Types
Reddybook offers several alert categories to suit varied needs:
- Match Start Alerts – Notifies you when a match involving your selected teams begins.
- Live Score Updates – Pushes score changes at configurable intervals (e.g., every over or every 10 runs).
- Milestone Alerts – Triggers on events such as a batsman reaching a fifty, a bowler taking a five‑wicket haul, or a record partnership.
- Result Summaries – Sends a concise recap once the match ends.
Select the type(s) that align with your cricket‑following habits.
3. Configuring Your Personalized Cricket Alerts
3.1. Choose a Match or Competition
Click Create New Alert. You’ll be presented with a searchable list of ongoing and upcoming matches. Use the filter options to narrow results by:
- Format – Test, ODI, T20, T20‑League.
- Country or region.
- Specific team or player name.
Once you locate the desired match, select it to proceed.
3.2. Set Alert Triggers and Frequency
Within the match view, you can fine‑tune when alerts fire:
- Start of Inning/Day – Receive a notification at the opening of each innings (or day in a Test).
- Every Over – Get a brief update after each over, ideal for T20 enthusiasts.
- Score Milestones – Define custom thresholds such as “Notify me when Team A reaches 150 runs” or “Alert when Player X scores a century.”
- Wicket Alerts – Choose to be informed after every wicket or only after major wickets (e.g., top‑order dismissals).
Set the frequency slider to “Low,” “Medium,” or “High” based on how often you want to be pinged. Remember, higher frequencies can increase notification fatigue.
3.3. Choose Delivery Channels
Reddybook supports multiple delivery methods. Tick the boxes for the channels you prefer:
- Push Notification – Real‑time alerts on the mobile app.
- Email Digest – Summarized updates sent at intervals you specify (e.g., every hour or at match end).
- SMS Alert – Short text messages for critical events, useful when internet connectivity is limited.
- Desktop Browser Notification – For users who spend most of their time on a computer.
The platform automatically formats each alert to suit the selected channel, ensuring readability across devices.
3.4. Add Personal Notes (Optional)
For advanced users, Reddybook allows a short note to be attached to each alert. This can serve as a reminder of why you set the alert (e.g., “Watch the debut of Player Y”). These notes appear in the alert summary and can be edited later.
4. Managing and Editing Your Alerts
4.1. Review Active Alerts
Return to the Active Alerts tab on the Alerts Dashboard. Each entry displays:
- Match name and start time.
- Alert type(s) selected.
- Delivery channels.
- Status indicator (e.g., “Pending,” “Live,” “Paused”).
Quick actions such as Pause, Edit, or Delete appear on hover.
4.2. Edit an Existing Alert
Click the Edit icon (pencil) next to the alert you wish to adjust. You can modify any of the following without recreating the alert from scratch:
- Change the match (useful if a match is postponed).
- Adjust milestone thresholds.
- Switch delivery channels (add an email digest if you find push notifications too frequent).
- Update personal notes.
After making changes, click Save. The system will prompt you to confirm that the new settings won’t conflict with existing alerts.
4.3. Deactivate or Delete Alerts
If a match ends or you no longer need notifications, you can either Deactivate the alert (temporarily stop notifications) or Delete it permanently. Deactivation preserves the alert’s configuration for future re‑activation, while deletion removes it from your history.
5. Advanced Tips for Maximizing Your Cricket Alert Experience
5.1. Use “Smart Alerts” for Follow‑On Events
Reddybook’s AI‑driven “Smart Alerts” can automatically suggest related events once a primary alert fires. For example, if you receive a “Player X hits a fifty” alert, the system may prompt you to enable a “Next Milestone” alert for a century. Enable this feature under Account Settings → Smart Alerts.
5.2. Combine Alerts Across Multiple Formats
Fans often follow the same teams across Test, ODI, and T20 formats. Create a “Master Alert” that aggregates key milestones from all formats, then use the Filter option to view only the format you’re currently interested in. This reduces the number of individual alerts you need to manage.
5.3. Set Time‑Zone Aware Notifications
Reddybook automatically detects your device’s time zone, but you can manually set a preferred zone in Settings → Time Zone. This ensures that alerts for overseas matches arrive at sensible local times, preventing night‑time pings that could disturb you.
5.4. Share Alerts with Friends
If you’re part of a cricket fan group, you can share a read‑only version of an alert via a unique URL. Click the Share icon on an active alert and select “Copy Link.” Recipients can view the alert details and subscribe to their own version without needing your credentials.
