Scheduled Alerts
A scheduled alert is a form of planned search triggered at regular intervals. You can configure the alert actions that occur when the signal is activated and the schedule and trigger criteria. For example, you can keep track of sales by setting up a daily alert for purchase events. When there are fewer than 500 purchases, the signal can activate an alert action. Scheduled alerts are similar to reports planned in that they run at predetermined intervals. However, scheduled reports initiate one or more alert actions every time they run, whereas scheduled alerts initiate alert actions only when they are triggered.
