Built for operatives, not archivists
FEC Notify tells you a filing landed. Pachand tells your team what changed, how it compares to the last report, and who should see it — in Slack, email, and a command dashboard.
Pachand watches the committees you care about and sends concise alerts when new reports land — with context on receipts, cash-on-hand, and report type so you can prioritize a response.
Impact-aware classification
Alerts emphasize filings that move the race — material cash changes, fundraising acceleration, outside spending, and unusual amendments — while still logging routine reports.
Material cash change
Receipts or cash on hand moved enough versus the prior filing to affect race strategy.
Fundraising acceleration
Period-over-period receipts jumped — momentum worth a war-room look before the next news cycle.
Outside spending
New independent expenditure activity on a watchlisted candidate or race.
Scoreboard shift
A candidate moved in the field ranking when a new report landed.
Unusual amendment
Same-period refiling with different totals — flagged so you do not trust stale numbers.
Routine filing
Low-impact reports still logged, but de-emphasized so your channel stays usable.
What each alert includes
- Human-readable filing summary tied to the committee on your watchlist
- Period-over-period receipts and cash-on-hand deltas vs. the prior filing
- Filing-type intelligence — no misleading $0 notices on non-financial forms
- Deduplicated daily digest option alongside real-time delivery
- Email and Slack channels on paid tiers
Part of the command desk
Alerts feed the live filing ledger inside Command, alongside donor ZIP heatmaps, opponent cash scoreboard, independent expenditure tracking, and GIS export. One watchlist powers the whole desk.

Frequently asked questions
- How is this different from FEC Notify?
- FEC Notify is the official free email alert when selected committees file. Pachand scopes alerts to your watchlist, adds human-readable summaries, receipts and cash-on-hand deltas, filing-type intelligence, and Slack delivery — plus donor ZIP heatmaps and a command dashboard.
- Which filings trigger alerts?
- Alerts cover new electronic filings for committees on your watchlist, including amendments. Summaries emphasize report type and period-over-period financial changes rather than raw form numbers.
- Can my team get alerts in Slack?
- Yes. Connect an Incoming Webhook to your war-room channel alongside email alerts on paid tiers.
