Introduction to Data Alerts

Data Alerts are triggered by conditions you define for your widgets. For example, if you have a widget that represents your company’s revenue, you can define an Alert that notifies you when this revenue reaches or falls below a certain threshold. Alerts are aggregated in tiles found on the Pulse page:

About Data Alerts

Alerts can be created for the following widgets:

• Indicator Widgets
  
• Area Chart Widgets
  
• Bar Chart Widgets
  
• Column Chart
  
• Line Chart
  

When creating an Alert, you can customize your notifications, the channel through which they are sent, and how often a notification is sent following a data or build. 

For each type of widget you can add to Pulse, you can monitor a single value. For example, for Column charts you can monitor a single section (value) of a column. To monitor multiple values, you can add each value you want to monitor to Pulse separately.

Dash provides several options for defining the type of changes that trigger data alerts including threshold based alerts, automatic anomaly detection, and always which is triggered by any change to your data. For example, if you have an Indicator widget that represents total sales, Dash will notify you when a threshold you defined is met or exceeded.

In addition, you can configure advanced settings that determine who receives the Alert and what channel the Alert is sent through.
