Alerts

An alert sends important production signals to email or Slack. Custom alerts evaluate a saved condition on a schedule. Proactive intent alerts are event-driven: they run when Agnost discovers a new user intent, not on the scheduled alert poller.

​

Slack defaults

Before Slack is connected, the Alerts page shows the available alert examples as suggestions you can try, including Daily Summary and Proactive Intent Summary. Connecting a Slack channel enables those two summaries by default. You can pause or resume either summary from its alert card.

​

Create an alert

Open Alerts in the Agnost AI sidebar, then choose a template or create a custom condition. Configure:

• A descriptive alert name.
• The condition and threshold.
• How often Agnost AI should check it.
• Email recipients or a connected Slack channel.
• The action or investigation context recipients need.

You can also open an intent or violation and choose Alert. Agnost AI fills in the selected classification, keeps the counting logic fixed, and lets you set the count threshold, lookback window, recent-message count, schedule, and destination.

​

Alert design

Prefer conditions that are actionable and stable enough to avoid noise. Include the workspace, time window, affected intent/tool/rule, supporting count, and a direct path back to Agnost AI. Test the alert before enabling it. Revisit thresholds after traffic or agent behavior changes.

Next steps

• Intents: choose a user goal worth monitoring.
• Violations: choose an expected rule worth monitoring.
• Improvements: investigate and address recurring conditions.
