Why Automated Alerts Are Mission-Critical
Account emergencies happen when you're sleeping, on vacation, or focused on other projects. A campaign spending €500 overnight with zero conversions, or a sudden drop in conversion rates during peak season, can cost thousands before you notice.
"This alert script caught a campaign malfunction that would have cost our client €3,200 in wasted spend. It paid for itself in the first week." - Michael Foster, Account Manager

Prevent overspend disasters with immediate alerts when daily costs exceed your limits. Early detection can save hundreds or thousands in wasted spend.
2. Quality Monitoring
Low conversion rates often indicate technical issues, poor targeting, or campaign problems. Quick detection means faster fixes and preserved performance.
3. Peace of Mind
Run campaigns confidently knowing you'll be notified immediately if anything goes wrong, whether you're in meetings, traveling, or offline.
