Overview

This page will show you how to get started configuring email notifications for usage-based alerts and usage reports.

Usage Summary Report

Usage Summary Reports are emails that provide insight into your usage. This allows you to keep a close eye on usage and can help identify patterns.

You can configure any combination of daily, weekly, and or monthly Usage Summary Reports.

• Daily summaries are delivered once a day and cover the previous day of usage.
• Weekly summaries are delivered each Monday and cover the previous week of usage.
• Monthly summaries are delivered on the 1st of each month and cover the previous month of usage.

To configure a Usage Summary Report, click the Usage Alerts tab in settings and toggle the switch for the delivery cadence you prefer.

Usage Alerts

Usage Alerts are real-time emails that are sent based on usage thresholds you define.

For example, you can set a usage threshold of 10% for the Person Enrichment API.

When a credit is used that puts your total consumption at 10% or more, you will be notified immediately. This gives you an opportunity to adjust your credit allotment before you run out of credits without having to create your own custom reporting.

1. Navigate to the Usage Alerts tab on the Settings page
2. Select a product to configure an alert for*
   
3. Enter a threshold amount between 1 and 100
   
4. Click Add Alert

   *Free users can only add one alert for "All products"
