You can fortunately select multiple event types when creating an event notifier, but I think there should be the option to also select at least Regions, maybe Counties too.

Use Case: I'm interested in CITOs in Switzerland, but only in the area near the Austrian border where I can go with public transport very cheaply.

That area is split up between 3-4 regions, so I would need to create multiple notifiers because I'm not interested in far away, more expensive to reach areas.

My solution is to only use the distance and a center coordinates and not use any regions at all. Wouldn't this solve your issue?

Yeah kinda, only I'm not interested in Events in Austria and Germany in this case.
Then use the country filter? Use a center coordinate and a distance that covers the part of Switzerland you want, add the country filter "Switzerland" to exclude parts of Austria and Germany covered.
It is however not possible to create a notifier without country at all, it gives me "Error 1" when I try. This means I again need to create 3 notifiers for one geographical border region I'm interested in.
That sounds odd. I have two notifiers that don't use countries and are used to catch all megas for the entire world so there shouldn't be a distance limit for it either.
@JakeDot Can you screenshot that error together with the settings you have when you are trying to save? I can't reproduce it.
Save failed, redirecting you back in 3 seconds. Reason: 3

I'm pretty sure it gave me "Reason: 1" at some point

I tested the same settings as the printscreen and I got a blank screen with no error code but when I got back to the notifiers page the notification was still saved and active.
A fix to the feedback upon save will be released today.
