What metrics can I set alerts on?

You can set alerts on any analytics metric including page views, visitors, bounce rate, conversion rate, goal completions, custom event counts, revenue, and more. Both upper and lower thresholds are supported.

How quickly are alerts triggered?

Alerts are evaluated continuously as data arrives. For most metrics, you'll receive a notification within minutes of a threshold breach. The exact timing depends on the alert's evaluation frequency setting.

Can I deliver alerts to Slack or Discord?

Yes. Alerts can be delivered via webhook to any HTTP endpoint. Configure a webhook URL pointing to your Slack webhook, Discord channel webhook, PagerDuty, or any custom endpoint that accepts JSON payloads.

Do alert emails work with private dashboards?

Yes. Alert notifications include privateLinkKey support, so the dashboard link in your alert email will work correctly even if your site uses private link sharing.

Can I set different thresholds for different time periods?

Currently, alerts use a single threshold configuration. You can create multiple alerts for the same metric with different thresholds if you need different sensitivity at different levels.

Alerts

alerts

Your analytics dashboard tells you what happened yesterday. But when something goes wrong — traffic drops, error spikes, conversion crashes — you need to know right now, not when you check your dashboard tomorrow morning.

BuddyStat's Alerts system continuously monitors your metrics against configurable thresholds. When a metric crosses your defined boundary — a 50% drop in page views, a spike in bounce rate, a revenue anomaly — you get an email notification within minutes with full context and a direct link to your dashboard.

Webhook delivery lets you integrate alerts with Slack, Discord, PagerDuty, or any custom endpoint. Each alert email includes privateLinkKey support so dashboard links work even for private sites. Set custom evaluation frequency — every 5 minutes, hourly, or daily — and fine-tune thresholds to match your monitoring needs.

Capabilities

What you can do

Metric-based thresholds

Set alerts on any metric — page views, bounce rate, conversions, revenue, or custom events. Define upper and lower thresholds that trigger notifications.

Email notifications

Receive alert notifications directly in your inbox. Each email includes the metric value, threshold, and a direct link to your dashboard for immediate action.

Webhook delivery

Send alerts to external systems via webhooks. Integrate with Slack, Discord, PagerDuty, or any custom endpoint for automated incident response.

Custom frequency

Choose how often alerts are evaluated — every 5 minutes, hourly, or daily. Fine-tune the cadence to match your monitoring needs.

Private link support

Alert emails include privateLinkKey support for sites with private sharing enabled. Dashboard links work correctly even for private sites.

Real-time monitoring

Alerts are evaluated continuously against incoming data. When a metric crosses your threshold, the notification is triggered within minutes.

Getting Started

How it works

01
Create an alert
In Site Settings, navigate to Alerts and create a new alert. Select the metric, define the threshold (e.g., 'page views drop below 100 in 1 hour'), and choose notification channels.
02
Alert is monitored
BuddyStat continuously evaluates your alert conditions against incoming analytics data. When the metric crosses your defined threshold, the alert triggers automatically.
03
Receive notification
An email is sent to your inbox with the alert details: metric name, current value, threshold, and a direct link to your dashboard. If webhook delivery is configured, the endpoint receives a JSON payload too.
04
Investigate and act
Click the dashboard link from the notification to immediately see the relevant data. Investigate the cause, take action, and adjust your alert thresholds if needed.
