Enabling Alert Notifications

Enabling the Alert Notification system can be accessed directly through the Configuration screen and on the Alert Notifications tab. For each alert, you can configure recipients, enable/disable alerts, update configuration, and subscribe.

Recipients

Selecting Recipients will allow you to view the full list of users who are receiving emails for a given alert. Here you'll be able to add/remove recipients by role or by email address. Only admins can add other recipients while individual users can subscribe themselves directly from the subscribe button.

Subscribe lets you quickly add yourself to the list of recipients of the alert.

Enable/Disable Alert

This action will change the status of the alert to be ACTIVE or DISABLED. Enabled alerts will allow those in the recipient list to receive emails for the given alert. Note, only admins of the Branch account can enable or disable alerts.

Update Configuration

Update Configuration allows you to set the different thresholds for the success rate of Postbacks and Webhooks. Additionally, you can filters for specific ad partners by clicking the + Add More Partner(s) Filters button.
