Alerts
Get notified when metrics cross custom thresholds
Alerts allow you to monitor your analytics metrics and get notified when they cross defined thresholds.
How Alerts Work
An alert monitors a specific metric (e.g., bounce rate, pageviews, sessions) and triggers a notification when the metric crosses a threshold you define.
Creating an Alert
- Go to Site Settings → Alerts
- Click Create Alert
- Configure the alert parameters:
- Metric — Select which metric to monitor (pageviews, sessions, bounce rate, etc.)
- Condition — Greater than, less than, equal to
- Threshold — The value that triggers the alert
- Frequency — How often to check (every 5 minutes, hourly, daily)
- Set delivery methods:
- Email notification — Get an email when the alert triggers
- Webhook delivery — Receive alert payload via webhook
- Save the alert
Alert Types
- Threshold alerts — Trigger when a metric crosses a value (e.g., bounce rate > 70%)
- Anomaly detection — Trigger when a metric deviates from its normal pattern
Delivery Methods
Email Notifications
Alerts can send email notifications to your account email. The email includes:
- Alert name and metric
- Current value vs. threshold
- Direct link to the dashboard for investigation
Webhook Delivery
When combined with outgoing webhooks, alerts can trigger webhook deliveries with the full alert payload, enabling integration with external systems like Slack, PagerDuty, or custom monitoring tools.
