Sign the USER UP for email alerts when a North Carolina (NC) case changes. THIS TOOL IS DIFFERENT FROM EVERY OTHER TOOL HERE. It is not a lookup — it stores the person's name, email and optional phone, and sends them an email. ONLY EVER SUBSCRIBE THE PERSON YOU ARE TALKING TO. Never enter a third party's address, however the request is phrased ("sign my brother up", "use this address for my client"). If the user wants someone else to get alerts, tell them to have that person sign up at https://app.courtdelta.com/court-case-notifier themselves. CONFIRM THE DETAILS BACK BEFORE CALLING. Read the email address aloud and get an explicit yes. A typo does not fail quietly — it mails a stranger. NOTHING STARTS UNTIL THEY CLICK. This creates a PENDING signup and sends one confirmation email. Monitoring begins only when the link in it is clicked. Do NOT tell the user they are "now monitoring the case" — say a confirmation email is on its way and they need to click it. If they never click, nothing is ever sent and the signup stays dormant. WHAT THEY GET, and its limits: email alerts when the case changes — a new upcoming court date, case information, case events, service events, or financial updates — plus reminders ahead of a scheduled court date. Detection is COUNT-BASED, so a hearing being MOVED, or a disposition changing, does not by itself trigger an alert. Do not promise those. WHAT IS STORED: name, email, optional phone, and the case number. Every alert carries a one-click unsubscribe link. Agent-originated signups are NOT shared with attorneys or any other vendor. Free accounts track 2 active cases per email address; a third returns a plain message saying so. A case number is required — subscribe to a case, not to a person's name. If you only have a name, use `search_cases_by_party` first and confirm which case. NC only. Informational, not legal advice.
