# Alerts Overview

Alerts tell you when interesting data changes occur in your account. They work by analyzing historical data. Whenever there is a significant change in data, you receive an email and are informed in the notification feed.

You can create and edit alerts on the overview page. The number of used and available alerts is shown at the top of the page.

If you would like to increase the limit, talk to your account manager.

The following actions are available for existing alerts:

| **Action** | **Description** |
| --- | --- |
| **Trigger** | Sends an email showing you the message that would be sent if the alert is triggered. You also receive a chart showing the performance in the past. |
| **Edit** | Opens the configuration screen for an alert to change its settings. |
| **Delete** | Deletes the selected alert. |
