Create a business alert

Configure business alerts to notify you when the sum/count of an event reaches a specified value.

For example, a bank limits the total amount of weekly loan approvals. Configure an event to run every time a loan is approved. Linked to this, define an alert to trigger when the sum of approved loans reaches a specified value. For example, configure the alert to create a job that automatically sends an email to a bank manager.
