Real-time Usage and Revenue Alerts and Signals
Amberflo can send alerts and signals via email and Webhooks.
A signal can be defined on a specific customer, or on all customers.
A signal rule can be defined as exceeding a constant number or a percentage change of metered data over time.
Signals can be defined on billing data as well to enable valuable alerts to customers, sales teams, and finance teams.
Signal examples:
Get an email for any customer that exceed 1000 hours per week.
Get a slack message for any customer that used 20% less week over week.
Account manager receives email whenever customer usage surpasses amount of prepaid credits in Wallet.
Head of Finance receives email alert when 25, 50, 75, and 90 percent of quarterly revenue target is reached.
The easiest way to configure Alerts & Signals is via the Console.
