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

What This Script Does

Our Performance Email Alert script monitors your account 24/7 and sends instant email notifications when spending or conversion rates cross your defined thresholds, giving you real-time visibility into account performance.

Key Features:

  • Cost Threshold Monitoring: Alert when daily spend exceeds your comfort level
  • Conversion Rate Tracking: Immediate notification when CVR drops below target
  • 24-Hour Performance Window:& Uses yesterday's data for accurate daily monitoring
  • Detailed Email Reports: Complete performance breakdown in every alert
  • Customizable Thresholds: Set limits that match your business needs
